About this map

Rock River and Kyte River define the northern hydrology of this Ogle County landscape, where the settlement of Oregon sits just across the water from the high ground of Devils Backbone. The map documents a cluster of historical rural communities including Daysville, Watertown, and Carthage, alongside the modern residential development at Lost Nation centered around Lost Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds, notably the County Farm Cem and Lighthouse Cem, which serve as markers for early township pioneer families. The transition from Ogle County into Lee County is marked at the southern edge, showing a terrain characterized by agricultural fields and drainage features like Franklin Cr and Clear Cr. This modern survey provides a detailed view of the rural road network and the lasting footprints of early settlements.
