About this map

The Pecatonica River winds through a landscape of family-named intersections and rural infrastructure in this 2012 survey of Stephenson County. The village of Ridott serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller crossroads settlements such as Ridott Corners, Hunt Corners, and Woodruff Corners. The area's genealogical depth is evident in the distribution of local burial grounds, including the Ridott Center Cem, Pecatonica Cem, and Rose Hill Cem.

Transportation patterns are defined by the river and several small-scale airfields like Cambier Airport and Everts International Airport near the southern settlement of Evarts. Notable water features such as Rock Run, Sumner Cr, and Brown Cr feed into the Pecatonica, framing Sumner Island and crossing under landmarks like the Farwell Bridge and Ridott Bridge. These features reflect a traditional Midwestern agricultural grid punctuated by essential local landmarks.
