About this map

Edinburg sits as a central historic focal point in this portion of Grundy County, surrounded by an exceptional concentration of family burial sites that testify to the area's deep genealogical roots. The Peery family legacy is particularly prominent, with the Sarah Peery, Peery Chapel, Robert Peery, Evans Peery, and George Peery Cemetery all located within a few miles of one another. To the west, the residential development of Leisure Lake contrasts with the traditional agricultural landscape, while the Edinburg Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery serves as a significant landmark for local fraternal history.

Water defines the eastern boundary where the Weldon River and Thompson River converge near the edge of Trenton. The map details a transition from the structured street grids of small settlements to the meandering paths of Hickory Creek and West Fork Wolf Creek. Numerous small impoundments like Lake Wittona and Crowder Lake are scattered across the township, reflecting a 21st-century landscape shaped by both historic homesteading and modern recreation.
