About this map

Beloit and South Beloit anchor the northern edge of this landscape, where the Illinois-Wisconsin state line divides the urban corridor. Following the Interstate 39 corridor south, the residential and commercial growth of Roscoe and Machesney Park becomes evident, punctuated by older landmarks like Stagecoach Hills. This area is defined by the drainage of N Kinnikinnick Cr and S Kinnikinnick Cr, which wind through a mix of suburban development and rural agricultural plots.

Genealogists will find several burial sites including Pinnacle Hill Cem, Forest Hill Cem, and Scotch Cem scattered across the undulating terrain. The infrastructure reflects a busy regional transit network, featuring local aviation hubs such as Beloit Airport and the Compass Rose Airport. The map highlights the transition from the consolidated city centers in the north to the expanding residential neighborhoods bordering the Winnebago Co and Boone Co line.
