2015 Map of Forreston North

About this map

Forreston occupies the southern edge of this Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid is broken by the winding path of the Leaf River. The area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds that speak to the long-standing community roots here, including White Oak Cem, Coffman Cem, and the North Grove Zion Reformed Cem. Moving north toward South Freeport, the terrain rises at Hardpan Ridge and Coffman Bluff before reaching Albertus Airport. The geography is defined by a dense network of local roads following section lines, such as German Valley Rd and Montague Rd, which connect the small settlements of Baileyville and the surrounding farms. Several watercourses, including Elkhorn Cr and Silver Cr, drain the undulating fields between the Stephenson and Ogle County line.
