2015 Map of Morrison

About this map

Morrison serves as the central hub for this portion of Whiteside County, positioned at the intersection of significant local thoroughfares like W Lincolnway and Crosby Rd. The landscape is characterized by the winding path of Rock Cr, which feeds into the recreational area around Lake Carlton to the north. This survey documents the transition from the concentrated residential blocks of the city to the expansive agricultural grid that surrounds it, marked by small rural settlements like Malvern and Unionville. Local history is deeply etched into the land through a series of family and community burial grounds, including the Minnonite Cem and Grove Hill Cem. Educational foundations are represented by the Morrison Institute of Technology, while the names on the rural road network, such as Damen Rd and Holly Rd, hint at the long-standing agricultural lineages of the region.
