2024 Map of Walton

About this map

The Green River and the engineered watercourse of the Main Ditch define the agricultural landscape of this corner of Lee County. The small settlement of Walton sits centrally at a crossroad, while the larger community of Amboy occupies the northeastern corner of the map. Of significant interest to local historians is the Nathaniel Carter Williams Gravesite located south of Brewster Rd, standing as a specific memorial amidst the vast section-line fields. The road network reflects both military and family histories, featuring names like N Bataan Rd and W Bataan Rd near Amboy, alongside family-named routes such as Rhodenbaugh Rd and Morrissey Rd. An unnamed Cem further south provides another touchstone for genealogical research in this rural Illinois prairie land.
