2012 Map of Morrison

About this map

Morrison serves as the hub of this Whiteside County landscape, where the confluence of several branches of Rock Cr and French Cr meets the local road network. The map illustrates a transition between the established city center and the agricultural reaches of the Illinois prairie. To the northwest, the Annan Grist Mill stands near Unionville, representing the area's milling history, while the small settlement of Malvern occupies the northeastern corner. The geography is shaped by water, notably Lake Carlton and the meandering creeks that drain the surrounding fields. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped in the rural sections, including Mennonite Cem, Malvern Cem, and Heaton Cem. The modern infrastructure is also represented by the Prairie Hill Recycling and Disposal Facility in the southeast, contrasting with the century-old landmarks elsewhere.
