USGS Topo · Published 1918About this map
The Rock River carves a dramatic oxbow at Grand Detour, a geographic focal point of this northern Illinois landscape just before the end of the Great War. This survey captures a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, characterized by an exceptional number of small district schoolhouses such as Whiteoak School, Nashua School, and the Harmony Hill School. The regional economy is anchored by the hub of Dixon and smaller rail-dependent villages like Franklin Grove and Nachusa.
