2015 Map of Kings

About this map

Davis Junction and Monroe Center anchor the northern reaches of this Ogle County landscape, where the rectangular grid of rural roads is interrupted by the meandering course of Killbuck Cr. The map reveals a transition from traditional agriculture to modern rural residential development, particularly evident in the winding streets of the Davis Junction area. Local heritage is preserved in a significant number of scattered burial grounds, including Kilbuck Cem, Big Mound Cem, and White Rock Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research. Smaller hubs like Holcomb and Lindenwood provide evidence of early rail-aligned settlement patterns. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding Kite River and specialized land uses like the Maple Hurst Farms Airport, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to both land and local aviation.
