The South Branch Kishwaukee River and its tributaries define the agrarian landscape of northern Illinois, carving a path through the townships of DeKalb County. This 2021 survey documents the established settlements of Kirkland and Kingston, which grew along the waterway and rail corridor. To the south, the small crossroads of Clare and Wilkinson anchor the rural landscape, connected by the diagonal passage of Old State Road.
