2015 Map of Steward

About this map

Steward serves as the primary hub in this portion of Lee County, situated where Steward Creek and Johns Cr converge. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of rural roads named for local families, such as Orouke Rd, Gittleson Rd, and Becker Rd, reflecting the deep agricultural roots of the region. A notable concentration of private aviation is evident across the township, with Staton Airport, Ranken Airport, and Hep Cats Airport punctuating the farmland. To the south, the small settlement of Scarboro sits near Dry Run, while Twelvemile Corner marks a distinct crossroads. For genealogists, the map identifies several burial grounds including Steward Cemetary, German Cem, and Twin Grove Cem, providing vital clues for family history research in this Illinois prairie landscape.
