About this map

Chana serves as the primary settlement in this mid-1970s landscape, positioned along the Burlington Northern line at the junction of Honey Creek Road. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Kite River, which cuts through the townships of Pine Rock and Flagg. This area reflects a deeply rooted rural infrastructure where family-named landmarks and local institutions anchor the community.

Genealogists can identify several distinct burial sites including Chapel Hill Cem and Cooley Cem, while the southern boundary near the Ogle Co and Lee Co line features the Ashton Ch. The industrial footprint is evident through scattered Gravel Pits and the presence of the Chicago and North Western railroad. To the south, the Illinois Tollway and Beach Creek represent the modern transportation and drainage network established by the late twentieth century.
