2024 Map of Chana

About this map

Chana and Flagg anchor this northern Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding course of the Kyte River. The map reveals a rural community defined by its watercourses and long-standing local landmarks, including the Cooley Cem and Flagg Center Cem situated among the farmstead roads. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Lee Co border, where the industrial drainage of Grubin Ditch and the natural flow of Beach Creek mark the transition of the watershed. The prevalence of thoroughfares like E Grist Mill Rd and Stone Hill Rd points to the historical importance of milling and local topography in shaping the settlement patterns of Ogle Co. This survey provides a precise view of the modern infrastructure and drainage systems that support the region's enduring farming tradition.
