2018 Map of Monroe NW

About this map

W Br Little Sugar River and Hefty Cr define the drainage of this rural landscape northwest of Monroe. The map reveals a deeply etched agricultural region where early 21st-century road networks like Co Rd J and Co Hwy N follow the natural contours of the land. Evidence of the area's 19th-century educational and community heritage is preserved in the names of watercourses such as Buckskin School Cr and Argus School Br, which persist long after their namesake schoolhouses have shifted roles. For genealogists, the map identifies several pioneer burial grounds, including Shooks Prairie Cem, Benkert Cem, and Lliff Cem. Modern aviation also leaves its mark with the Flying H Airport, while the prominent Dividing Ridge Rd indicates the high ground separating the local watersheds.
