USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Forreston serves as the central hub of this northern Illinois agricultural landscape, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and Chicago Great Western railroads intersect. The map reveals an exceptionally dense network of rural infrastructure, particularly one-room schoolhouses like Cyclone Heights Sch and Summer Hill Sch, illustrating the dispersed population of Ogle and Stephenson counties before the mid-century consolidation of school districts.
