2018 Map of Freeport West

About this map

The Pecatonica River winds through this Stephenson County landscape, defining the character of the river valley from Scioto Mills down to the western edge of Freeport. This 2018 survey detail shows a transition from the dense street grids of the city to the expansive agricultural tracts of the surrounding townships. Local history is preserved in a significant number of family and community burial grounds, including the Ellis Van Brocklin Cem and Hart Cem. Educational and public institutions like Highland Community College anchor the southwestern portion of the city. The map also documents notable terrain features like Preston Bottoms and the ironically named Ducks Misery, alongside the infrastructure of the Harlem Bridge and several regional creek systems like Yellow Creek and Preston Cr.
