About this map

The Rock River carves a deep path through Ogle County, serving as the central artery for this Illinois landscape. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of Oregon and Byron, connected by the winding N State Rte 2 which hugs the riverbank. Near the county seat of Oregon, the map identifies significant local landmarks including the Ogle County Judicial Center and Margaret Fuller Island, an unusual named river feature.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, from the larger Riverview Cem and Riverside Cem near the town center to smaller rural sites like Brooklyn Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and the Saint Brides Episcopal Cem. The terrain is further defined by several tributaries such as Leaf River and Silver Cr, and the prominent Silver Ridge rising to the west, detailing the established rural road network and township boundaries that have persisted for generations.
