About this map

Stockton occupies the northeast corner of this Jo Daviess County landscape, situated atop a plateau where the drainage divide separates the waters of Rush Cr from the Plum River system. The terrain is defined by a dense network of valleys and ridges, including the distinct Welsh Hollow in the northwest and the winding course of the N Fork Plum River. This 2015 survey illustrates a rural environment characterized by a geometric grid of country roads such as E Welch Rd and S Massbach Rd that negotiate the uneven elevation.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by specific landmarks like the Holy Cross Catholic Cem near the town center and the Plum River Catholic Cem further south. The map documents smaller named settlements like Elmoville, located near the confluence of Camp Cr and the Plum River. These features provide a clear view of the regional hydrography, from the headwaters of Lawhorn Cr and Rindesbacher Cr to the southern reach of Hammond Br.
