2015 Map of Walnut

About this map

The village of Walnut serves as the central hub of this Bureau County landscape, where the street grid is marked by local thoroughfares such as East Walnut Street, Liberty St, and Depot St. The surrounding agricultural terrain is defined by a systematic network of water management features, including the Red Oak Ditch and Normandy Ditch, which channel water toward the Green River and Walnut Creek. For those exploring local family history, the map identifies both the Walnut Cemetary on the western edge of town and the more isolated Red Oak Cem to the northeast. The boundary between Bureau and Lee counties runs along the northern portion of the map, followed closely by Base Line Rd, illustrating the intersection of civil boundaries and the rural road system.
