2021 Map of Forreston North

About this map

Leaf River and Elkhorn Cr meander through the rural landscape of Ogle and Stephenson Counties, defining the drainage patterns south of South Freeport. The terrain is punctuated by Hardpan Ridge and the distinct elevation of Coffman Bluff, providing a clear view of the agricultural character of this region in the early twenty-first century. Small clusters of settlement such as Baileyville and the northern edge of Forreston are connected by a network of rural roads like S Baileyville Rd and W Montague Rd. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites including Cranes Grove Cem, White Oak Cem, and the North Grove Zion Reformed Cem. This survey also documents transportation infrastructure ranging from the runways at Albertus Airport to the path of N State Rte 26, reflecting the modern layout of these Illinois townships.
