The agricultural landscape of northern Bureau County and southern Lee County is defined by its rectilinear grid and the small rural centers of Ohio and Kasbeer. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern configuration of this farming region, where the Lee Co and Bureau Co line follows Baseline Rd across a terrain drained by Walnut Creek, Lime Creek, and Masters Fork. For local historians and genealogists, several traditional burial grounds are documented, including Saint Marys Cemetery north of the county line and Union Cemetery situated just east of Ohio. The road network remains a primary feature of the landscape, with family-named routes such as Rogers Rd, Sheehan Rd, and Hannon Rd providing access to the sectioned fields that have supported Illinois agriculture for generations.
