2012 Map of Stolletown

About this map

The agrarian community of Stolletown and the nearby settlement of Frogtown anchor this portion of Clinton County. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Shoal Cr and Beaver Cr, which cut through a grid of rural roads and large-scale agricultural operations. Evidence of the region's dairy heritage is visible at the Diekemper Dairy and the Beckemeyer Dairy Farm, while several active energy sites, such as the Frogtown North Oil Field and Carlyle North Oil Field, suggest a diversified local economy beyond traditional farming. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating several rural burial grounds, including Saint Felicitas Cem, Saint Peter Cem, and Rudolph Cem. In the southeastern corner, the Carlyle Airpark and the Carlyle Oil Field mark the intersection of modern transport and resource extraction amidst the flat Illinois prairie.
