The settlement of Stavanger anchors this portion of the Illinois prairie, located where the boundaries of LaSalle, Kendall, and Grundy Counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Nettle Creek and its tributaries, which cut through a network of section-line roads and named woodland patches such as Apakeska Grove and Holdermans Grove. These groves likely represent original timber stands preserved amidst the expansive agricultural grid that dominates the region.
