The agricultural landscape of Bureau County is anchored by the village of Walnut, situated at the intersection of Wyanet Walnut Rd and local thoroughfares like Ross St and E Walnut St. This 2021 survey illustrates a region where managed drainage is critical to the local economy, evidenced by the extensive network of the Green River, Red Oak Ditch, and Normandy Ditch. The presence of private aviation facilities, including Fisch RLA Airport and Wilt RLA Airport, underscores the scale of modern farming operations and the dispersed nature of local transportation. Genealogists will find the locations of Walnut Cem and Red Oak Cem preserved on the map. To the north, the boundary between Lee Co and Bureau Co runs along Baseline Rd, marking the division of these fertile Illinois prairie lands.
