Lee and Shabbona anchor this agricultural landscape along the shared border of Lee and DeKalb counties. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Kishwaukee River system, including the S Br Kishwaukee River and its various tributaries like the Middle Br S Br Kishwaukee River. These waterways, along with Steward Cr and Dry Run, dictate the placement of early farmsteads and rural roads that follow the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
