About this map

The agricultural landscape of the Illinois River valley uplands is defined by the village of McNabb and the settlement at Mount Palatine. Located along the border of Putnam and LaSalle counties, this area maintains a distinct rural character centered on cross-road communities and family-named infrastructure. Local history is deeply rooted in the land, as evidenced by several historic burial grounds including Friends Cem, Mount Palatine Cem, and the uniquely named Boyle-Price Valley Cem.

Natural drainage systems like Clear Cr and Cedar Cr cut through the gridded road network, which includes established routes like the McNabb Blacktop Road. The presence of the Hartenbower Hectares Airport suggests a modern layer of private aviation atop this traditional farming region, while the small rural roads like Swaney Rd and Little Sandy Creek Rd provide specific reference points for genealogists tracing ancestral property lines in the early 21st century.
