1918 Map of Dixon
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Rock River creates a dramatic oxbow at Grand Detour, a geographic focal point of this Ogle and Lee County landscape. This mid-century update of earlier 1916 fieldwork shows the area's agricultural and institutional maturity, featuring the sprawling Mil Res and the County Farm near Daysville. The region is defined by a dense network of early 20th-century rural education, including the White Temple School, Harmony Hill School, and Lighthouse School, reflecting the era's decentralized community structure before the widespread consolidation of districts.
