About this map

Floraville and Paderborn sit at the center of this rural Illinois landscape, where the rolling agricultural fields are divided by the winding path of Prairie du Long Cr. The map reflects a deeply rooted community structure, defined by family-named roadways and several historic burial grounds, including Saint Michaels Cem and Martini Cem. While the eastern edge of Waterloo shows signs of modern residential growth, much of the area remains dominated by farm tracts and drainage networks like Rockhouse Cr and Gerhardt Cr.

Private recreation and conservation are evident in the numerous water bodies scattered throughout the territory. Large private holdings, such as the Justamir Association Lake and the Waterloo Sportsman Club Lake, suggest a transition from traditional agriculture to managed outdoor spaces. The irregular southern boundary of St. Clair and Monroe Counties cuts through the terrain, further anchoring the local geography between these two historic jurisdictions.
