2018 Map of Orangeville

About this map

Orangeville and several smaller agricultural communities dot the landscape of northern Stephenson County, where the Pecatonica River winds through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The 2018 survey reveals a territory deeply rooted in its rural heritage, anchored by numerous small cemeteries and places of worship. Settlements like McConnell, Buena Vista, and Red Oak are interconnected by a network of local roads including W McConnell Rd and Old State Rte 26. The density of burial sites, such as the Richland Salem Lutheran Cem, Shippy Salem Cem, and the Silent Hill Cem, offers significant detail for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of Illinois. The map also captures the paths of several waterways, including Little Richland Cr and Waddams Cr, which drain the surrounding farmland as it extends toward the border of Cedarville in the south.
