About this map

The village of Creston and the eastern edge of Rochelle define this agricultural landscape in northern Illinois. Located on the border of Ogle and DeKalb counties, the area is largely shaped by the drainage patterns of Killbuck Creek and the East Branch Killbuck Creek. To the east, the village of Malta sits near Kishwaukee College, serving as a localized center of education and community.

Rural infrastructure is well-documented, with a grid of country roads such as S Woodlawn Rd and S Chamberlain Rd connecting disparate farmsteads and points of interest. Notable landmarks include the Woodlawn Cemetery and the Hendrickson Flying Service airfield, reflecting both the long-standing heritage and the modern transport needs of the region. The map also traces the N Creston Ditch and Johns Creek, illustrating the extensive water management vital to the local prairie-turned-farmland.
