About this map

Stockton anchors the northeast corner of this Jo Daviess County landscape, situated atop the high ground where Mud Run and Rindesbacher Cr originate. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of the Plum River and its branches, including the N Fork Plum River and Middle Fork Plum River. These waterways carve a series of valleys through the countryside, creating a distinctive pattern of ridges and hollows such as Welsh Hollow in the northwest.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, from the Townsend Cem near the northern boundary to the Yankee Hollow Cem further south. The small settlement of Elmoville sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle near Camp Cr, illustrating the dispersed nature of local hamlets. The road network, including E Center Rd and S Massbach Rd, follows the natural contours of the land between these historic rural centers.
