2015 Map of Thompson

About this map

Thompson serves as the primary population center in this part of Winnebago County, situated in the northern portion of the map where a structured grid of streets including 1st Ave and Harrison St meets the rural landscape. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system designed for prairie agriculture, featuring man-made waterways like Drainage Ditch Number 24 and Drainage Ditch Number 39 that supplement natural courses like Buffalo Creek. Several sites of interest for local genealogy are visible, including the Rose Hill Cem just south of town and the more isolated Linden Township Cem. A unique landmark, the Dan Lemme Farm Graves, sits further south near Buffalo Cr, illustrating the deeply personal history of land ownership in this agricultural region.
