About this map

The Rock River defines the landscape of Lee County as it flows through the eastern edge of Dixon. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the city's residential streets—including Apple St and Woodlawn Ave—to the surrounding agricultural plains. The area is notable for several aviation landmarks, including the Dixon Municipal Airport-Charles R. Walgreen Field and the smaller Bally's Strip Airport to the north.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, ranging from the large Oakwood Cem in town to the Dixon State School Cem and the more remote Dewolf Cem near the Threemile Br. The map also captures small communities like Nachusa and Eldena, along with family-named operations such as Red Brick Road Farm and M and R Farms, providing a detailed view of modern land use and rural settlement patterns.
