2024 Map of Wellington

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Iroquois County is defined by the meandering courses of Sugar Creek and Gay Creek, which break the geometric precision of the township and range survey lines. This section of eastern Illinois centers on the village of Wellington, where Main St and Bulldog Rd provide local structure amidst a vast network of section-line roads like E 400 North Rd. To the north, the larger settlement of Milford sits along the banks of Sugar Creek, a waterway that historically influenced the placement of early infrastructure and burials. Genealogists will find the preservation of local history at the Old Milford Cem and the Sugar Creek Cem near the eastern boundary. The small rail-side hamlet of Alonzo further illustrates the dispersed nature of these rural communities, where grain elevators and homesteads are connected by a grid of numbered roads.
