2021 Map of Serena

About this map

Serena and Norway anchor this portion of LaSalle County, situated within a landscape defined by the winding course of the Fox River. The area is notably dense with small, family-named burial grounds and community landmarks that offer significant value for genealogical research. Sites such as Spradling Cem, Osmundson Cem, and David Strawn Cem are scattered throughout the township blocks, indicating the deep roots of early settling families. The terrain includes natural features like Indian Island and Lake Herman, while numerous watercourses including Mission Cr, Brumbach Cr, and Nettle Cr drain the surrounding agricultural lands. This survey reflects a modern view of the rural road network, where historical locations like Danway persist alongside newer recreation spots like Friends Field.
