2015 Map of Shirland

About this map

The Pecatonica River meanders across the southern half of this landscape, its complex oxbows and bends defining the topography south of Shirland. This 2015 survey illustrates the rural character of northern Winnebago County, where the village of Harrison sits at the junction of Freeport Rd and Harrison Rd. The area is notably dense with small private airfields and rural burial grounds, serving as a hub for local aviation and family history. Researchers will find several distinct cemeteries including Shirland Cem, Harrison Cem, and Meridian Cem. The northern portion is characterized by a network of country roads like Yale Bridge Rd and Boswell Rd, which cross the drainage of the Sugar River and Otter Cr before reaching the state line with Wisconsin.
