Polo anchors this section of Ogle County, revealing a grid of residential and commercial streets that form the primary hub of northwestern Illinois agricultural life. The map details the transition from the concentrated settlement at Polo southward through the historic Buffalo Grove area to the village of Woosung. This landscape is defined by its drainage network, where Buffalo Creek and Sevenmile Br navigate a terrain heavily partitioned by a precise grid of rural roads like W Penn Corner Rd and W Sterling Rd.
