About this map

The Illinois River flows through the heart of this Grundy County landscape, dominated by the Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor. The city of Morris serves as the primary hub, showing a dense grid of streets including E Main St and W Waverly St, while smaller outlying settlements like Stockdale, Paytonville, and Wauponsee provide a look at the residential and industrial distribution across the river valley. Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded, including Evergreen Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and the more isolated Sample Cem.

The geography is defined by numerous waterways and islands, such as Peacocks Island, Sugar Island, and the branching Mazon River. Transportation is a key theme, with the Pine Bluff Bridge crossing the river and local aviation hubs like Harford Airport and Curanda Airport serving the region. The map captures a mix of established municipal centers and the expansive riparian environment of the Mud Slough and Waupecan Creek.
