About this map

The agrarian plains of northern Illinois are defined here by a systematic grid of section lines and rural homesteads, primarily within the southeastern corner of Lee County. The village of Sublette sits near the southwestern corner, anchored by its post office and the local Saint Marys Cem. To the northeast, the smaller settlement of West Brooklyn appears as a distinct cluster of structures near Union Cem. This area is characterized by a high density of small private airstrips, including Delhotal Airport, Butler Hill RLA Airport, and Gehart Airport, reflecting the region's reliance on aviation for agricultural management.

Water features are concentrated in the north and south, with the Green River and Inlet Cem located near the marshy fringes of the northwestern quadrant. Further south, Big Bureau Cr meanders through the landscape near the LaSalle County line. This survey captures the enduring layout of rural township roads like Richardson Rd and Shady Oaks Rd, which connect family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds such as Peterson Cem.
