USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The Kishwaukee River corridor and the industrial town of Belvidere define the southern portion of this 1944 edition. Surveyed in 1917 with cultural revisions through 1942, the map shows the expansion of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad lines, which linked agricultural hubs like Poplar Grove and Caledonia to larger markets. The landscape is dense with community infrastructure from a previous generation, featuring an extraordinary concentration of rural schoolhouses such as Red Brick School and the uniquely named Quailtrap School.
