1983 Map of Dixon East

About this map

The Rock River winds through the northern portion of this Lee County landscape, anchoring the city of Dixon and its varied mid-century infrastructure. This 1980s-era record details a community defined by its civic institutions and transportation hubs, from the sprawling grounds of the State Developmental Center and Page Park to the Dixon Municipal Airport. The map documents the city's expansion south and east toward the Illinois Tollway, while preserving the locations of numerous historic burial grounds such as Oakwood Cemetery and Chapel Hill Cem.
