2012 Map of Orangeville

About this map

Pecatonica River meanders through this agricultural landscape of Stephenson County, carving a wide valley where McConnell and the Pleasure Valley Landing Area are situated. The settlement pattern is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and small villages like Orangeville, Oneco, and Cedarville, each anchored by historical burial grounds that offer deep genealogical value. This 2012 survey illustrates a well-preserved Midwestern township structure, where land is dotted with family and church-affiliated landmarks such as Shippy Salem Cem and Richland Salem Lutheran Cem. Waterways like Little Richland Cr and Muddy Cr provide the primary drainage for the surrounding farms, while small hamlets such as Buena Vista and Red Oak serve as quiet intersections in this productive northern Illinois corner.
