1918 Map of Dixon

This era in Lee County is characterized by a dense network of one-room schoolhouses and family-named landmarks. Educational sites like White Temple School, Loughridge School, and Harmony Hill School are scattered across the townships, reflecting the rural social structure of the early 20th century. The map also identifies the County Farm south of Dixon and recreational areas like Lowell Park, providing a window into the public institutions and early conservation efforts in the Rock River Valley before modern industrial expansion altered the prairie vistas.
