About this map

The Rock River carves a deep path through Ogle County, Illinois, anchoring the communities of Oregon and Byron in this 2015 survey. The map reveals a landscape defined by significant river bends and numerous tributaries, including the Leaf River, Silver Cr, and Black Walnut Cr. A notable terrain feature, Margaret Fuller Island, sits just north of the Oregon town center, surrounded by the braided currents of the main channel.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, particularly along the riverbanks where Riverview Cem and Riverside Cem are situated. Further north near the bend, Saint Mary's Cem and Ebenezer Reformed Cem mark long-established rural congregations. The area's infrastructure is detailed through a dense network of township roads like N German Church Rd and N Town Hall Rd, as well as the specialized facilities of the Duane E. Davis Airport located in the northwest corner of the quadrangle.
