About this map

The Pecatonica River winds through the heart of Stephenson County, anchoring a landscape defined by the intersection of three major railroads. Industrial activity and transit are centered around Freeport, where the Illinois Central, Chicago and North Western, and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific converge. The massive Wallace Yards on the city's eastern edge highlight the importance of rail logistics during this era.
