2018 Map of Dixon West

About this map

The Rock River carves a wide path through this portion of Lee County, serving as the central geographic feature for the city of Dixon and the surrounding agricultural townships. To the west, the village of Nelson is situated near the riverbanks, while the campus of Sauk Valley Community College occupies a prominent position on the northern shore. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of several tributaries, including Sugar Cr, Threemile Br, and Fivemile Br, which cut through the high ground of Palmyra and Prairieville. This area is rich in genealogical landmarks, with several small rural burial grounds such as Sugar Grove Cem, Prairieville Cem, and Pine Grove Cem scattered across the township sections. The map detail extends to the street level of western Dixon, showing the dense grid near the river including W Fourth St and Factory St.
