About this map

Sublette and West Brooklyn anchor this central Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid is interrupted by the winding path of the Green River and the headwaters of Big Bureau Cr. This mid-2010s survey details a region defined by its dispersed rural landmarks, including several aviation sites like Delhotal Airport and Gehant Airport that sit among the fields. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, ranging from Inlet Cem in the northwest to Saint Mary's Cem and Union Cem near West Brooklyn.

The map reveals the persistent footprint of smaller settlements and historical locales such as Inlet and Shaws, alongside family-named infrastructure like Butler Hill RLA Airport. Small water bodies such as Leake Lake dot the terrain, while the boundary between Lee Co and LaSalle Co cuts across the southeastern corner. The intricate network of township roads, including S Meridian Rd and Sublette Road, illustrates the enduring organization of this prairie farming community.
