2012 Map of Sublette

About this map

The Green River meanders through the northwest corner of this agricultural landscape, a region defined by its productive family farmsteads and rural landing strips. Small settlements such as West Brooklyn and Inlet serve as local anchors, connected by a rigid grid of country roads including Richardson Rd and Shady Oaks Rd. The map reveals a high concentration of small aviation facilities like the Bernardin Landing Strip, Delhotal Airport, and Butler Hill RLA Airport, reflecting the importance of private flight for crop management and transport in this part of Illinois. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the township, from the centrally located Union Cem to the outlying Peterson Cem and Inlet Cem. To the south, drainage from Big Bureau Cr cuts through the fields near Saint Marys Cem, illustrating the subtle hydrological patterns that shaped local land use and cemetery placement.
