2018 Map of Seward

About this map

Seward serves as a focal point in the northern section of this Illinois landscape, where the intersection of Tracy St and Grant St marks the village's small-town grid. To the south, the settlement of Byron occupies the lower right quadrant, showing a more developed network of streets including W Blackhawk Dr and W Second St. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Grove Cr, Middle Cr, and the several branches of Mill Cr, which carve through the farmland between Winnebago and Ogle counties. Cultural landmarks like the Middle Creek Cem and the Po in Byron provide specific points of interest for those tracing local lineages or community centers. The map also identifies the unincorporated community of Myrtle, positioned along the junction of W Myrtle RD and N Pecatonica Rd.
