2012 Map of Kishwaukee

About this map

The Rock River and Kishwaukee River converge in this portion of Winnebago County, creating a landscape defined by waterway bends and riverside settlements. Small residential clusters and subdivisions like Woodcrest, Motor Heights, and Brewster Heights dot the area north of the river, while the community of Kishwaukee sits near the southern bank. For local historians, the map identifies several significant landmarks including Camp Medill McCormick and the Bishops Lane Retreat House, reflecting the region's role in recreation and organized retreats. Transportation and commerce are represented by Thrifty Acres Airport and the interestingly named Loose Pulley Junction near the southern boundary. Farmland and rural tracts are anchored by established sites like Pinehurst Farms and Winnebago Cem, illustrating a transition from agricultural roots to suburban expansion as the Rockford area grew.
