1968 Map of Belvidere South

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Belvidere serves as the primary urban anchor at the northern edge of this landscape, where the Northwest Tollway bisects the rural expanses of Bonus and Spring townships. The map documents a transition in mid-century local entertainment and social life, featuring both a Drive-in Theater and a Grange Hall. This region is characterized by its agricultural heritage and early infrastructure, evidenced by the crossing of the Illinois Central railroad and a grid of secondary routes like Bloods Point Road and Fern Hill Road. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Shattucks Grove Cem and Bloods Point Cem, while the presence of numerous Gravel Pits suggests the importance of local mineral extraction to the area's development during the late 1960s.
