About this map

The Pecatonica River snakes through the northern Winnebago County landscape, defining the topography around the village of Pecatonica. This 2024 survey captures the area's balance of established agricultural plots and modern residential clusters, most notably the lakeside development at Westlake Village. The road network follows a rigid grid of family-named routes such as Barningham Rd and Wiegert Rd, revealing the enduring land-ownership patterns of this rural Illinois corridor.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by two primary burial grounds: Thompson Cem to the north and Twelve Mile Grove Cem situated south of the main settlement. Small-scale aviation and recreational space are noted at Carlson Airport and O'Connor Field, while the hydrology of the region is further shaped by Pink Creek and Grove Creek. The map provides a detailed look at the rural-to-suburban transition as it stands in the early 21st century.
