2015 Map of Lee

About this map

Lee and Shabbona anchor this section of the rural Illinois landscape, situated along the shared boundary of Lee and DeKalb Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and permanent waterways, including Steward Cr and various branches of the South Branch Kishwaukee River. The distribution of local history is evidenced by several rural burial grounds such as Union Cem, Norwegian Lutheran Cem, and Lee Calvary Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural blocks. The map reveals a strict grid of section roads like Shabbona Rd and Perry Rd, typical of the Midwest's surveying history. A notable concentration of residential streets appears in the southern portion near W Comanche Ave and W Cherokee Ave, reflecting more modern subdivision patterns amidst the traditional prairie farmland.
