2024 Map of Stillman Valley

About this map

Stillman's Run Battlefield Memorial and Cem anchors the northern village of Stillman Valley, commemorating the first major engagement of the Black Hawk War. This landscape in Ogle County is defined by the drainage of Stillman Creek and Black Walnut Creek as they move toward the Rock River in the northwest corner. The settlement pattern remains largely rural, concentrated around intersections like Paynes Point and White Rock. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, including Stillman Valley Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Beach Cem. Modern water features such as Walnut Pond, Hidden Valley Lake, and Traina Pond dot the agricultural terrain, reflecting contemporary land use alongside historical landmarks like the Emmanuel Lutheran Cem.
