About this map

Wellsburg serves as the central hub of this Grundy County landscape, situated at the junction of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and local rural routes. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Middle Fork Beaver Creek, South Beaver Creek, and Black Hawk Creek, which carve through the agricultural townships of German, Pleasant Valley, and Shiloh.

Social and civic life is anchored by landmarks such as Timothy Sch and St Pauls Ch, while the Shiloh Cem provides a primary point of interest for genealogical research. To the southeast, Stoehr County Park marks a transition toward more managed land use, contrasting with the active rail corridor and the numerous gravel pits that suggest local infrastructure and industrial activity during the late twentieth century.
