2021 Map of Reynolds

About this map

Reynolds sits at the intersection of Rock Island and Mercer Counties, serving as a primary settlement in this agricultural landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of N Camp Cr and Camp Cr, which carve through the tillable acreage of western Illinois. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notably dense with small family or community burial grounds, including Reynolds Cem, Hamlet Cem, Gray Cem, Corns Cem, and Saint Josephs Cem, each marking long-established ties to the land. Settlement patterns follow a grid of county roads and named avenues, with Hamlet and Gingle Corners acting as smaller local hubs. The presence of the Mercer County Airport in the south and various drainage features like Illinois Slough and Copperas Cr illustrate the practical management of this prairie landscape for modern aviation and traditional farming.
