About this map

The Kyte River winds through this rural Illinois landscape, defining the agricultural character of Ogle and Lee counties during the early 2020s. Centered on the unincorporated community of Chana, the map reveals a meticulously organized grid of section lines and farm-to-market roads such as E Cottonwood Rd and E Grist Mill Rd. These thoroughfares connect long-standing homesteads to local centers and regional waterways like Honey Cr and Grubin Ditch.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of vital community landmarks. Several burial grounds, including Cooley Cem, Chapel Hill Cem, and Flagg Center Cem, are clearly marked, providing a spatial record of the area's earliest families. The boundary between Ogle Co and Lee Co runs through the southern portion of the quadrangle, where the settlement of Flagg sits near the crossing of Beach Cr.
