About this map

Plano and Sandwich anchor this Illinois landscape, revealing a dense network of local roads and cemeteries that speak to generations of settlement. The agricultural and industrial character is defined by the BNSF Railway corridor, which connects these population centers across the county lines of DeKalb and Kendall. To the north, the smaller settlement of Little Rock sits near the winding course of Little Rock Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, including Plano Cem, Oaklawn Cem, and the more remote Welch Cem and Fowler Grove Cem. The map highlights the modern intersection of education and tradition, featuring the Waubonsee Community College - Plano Campus alongside landmarks like Maramech Hill and the Fox River. The topography is shaped by various waterways, from Big Rock Creek in the northeast to Beaver Lake and Loon Lake in the south, illustrating the drainage patterns of the region's fertile plains.
