The Rock River carves a dramatic oxbow around the historic settlement of Grand Detour, defining the geographic character of this Ogle and Lee County borderland. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring rural layout of the region, where legacy farmsteads like Coffman Farm and small crossroads such as Kingdom and Stratford persist amidst a network of country roads. The map is particularly detailed regarding local burial grounds, including Grand Detour Cem, Oak Ridge Cem, and the Brethren Cem, providing a precise spatial record for genealogical research in Dixon Township.
