2021 Map of Waterloo

About this map

Waterloo serves as the focal point of this Illinois survey, anchored by the Monroe County Courthouse and a surrounding network of local streets. The town's historic development is evidenced by numerous burial grounds like Waterloo City Cem and the Saint Paul Burial Park. Outside the main settlement, the landscape transitions into a series of smaller hamlets and rural landmarks, including Wartburg and Burksville. Water management and local geography are defined by the Waterloo Reservoir Number 1 and the winding course of Fountain Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in cemetery locations, from the New Design Historical Cem to smaller family-named sites like Lemen Cem and Moore Cem. To the southwest, Monroe City and the nearby Monroe City Hollow illustrate the varied terrain of Monroe County during the early 21st century.
