1968 Map of Belvidere South

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Belvidere's southern expansion and the surrounding rural townships of Bonus, Flora, and Spring reflect a landscape in transition during the late 1960s. The northern portion is dominated by the modern infrastructure of the Northwest Tollway and the Belvidere Service Area, while the Illinois Central railroad cuts a diagonal path through the agricultural south. This survey provides a distinct record of rural community life through scattered landmarks like the Grange Hall and the Drive-in Theater near the city's edge. Family and local history is preserved in small burial grounds such as Bloods Point Cem and Charter Oak Cem, which sit among numerous Gravel Pits that suggest the area's geological and industrial utility. Smaller hamlets like Herbert and Colvin Park serve as focal points for the farming districts along Mosquito Creek and Coon Creek.
