2021 Map of Polo

About this map

The city of Polo serves as the primary hub in this portion of Ogle County, defined by its rectilinear street grid and proximity to the historical Galena Trail Rd. The surrounding landscape is a detailed network of agricultural drainage and small waterways, including Buffalo Cr, Sevenmile Br, and Reid Cr. To the south, the village of Woosung sits right at the boundary of Lee County, connected to the north by S State Rte 26. For those tracing local history, the map identifies several significant burial sites, from the prominent Saint Mary's Cem and Buffalo Grove Cem to the smaller Reed Cem and the specific Durley Gravesite. Aviation history is also represented by the presence of Gentry Airport and Hammer Airport, highlighting the region's mid-century utility infrastructure.
