About this map

The Pecatonica River winds through the southwestern corner of this Stephenson County landscape, defining the topography near the settlement of McConnell. This northern Illinois region is characterized by a dense network of rural communities and crossroads, including Oneco, Buena Vista, and Orangeville. The mapping of these small towns reveals a stable pattern of land use, where local roads such as W Winslow Rd and Old State Rte 26 connect agricultural homesteads and longstanding community sites.

Genealogists will find an exceptional number of burial sites preserved here, from the Mount Pleasant Cem in the north to the Richland Center Cem further south. Unique family-named or historical landmarks such as Salem Shippee Mcconnell Cem and Basswood Cem offer specific geographic points for tracing local family history. The intersection of water and settlement is clear along Little Richland Cr and Muddy Cr, which drain the rolling terrain between these established hamlets.
