2015 Map of Rochelle

About this map

Rochelle serves as a significant regional hub where the Kyte River and several artificial waterways, including N Creston Ditch and Banning Lateral, intersect the landscape. This 2015 survey illustrates a community deeply integrated with its transportation infrastructure, from the Rochelle Municipal Airport-Koritz Field in the south to the complex interchange systems of the modern era. Residential expansion is noted in the Askvig Addition and the neighboring village of Hillcrest. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial grounds, such as Lawnridge Cem, Saint Patrick's Cem, and Trinity Memorial Cem. The map reveals how water management has shaped the Ogle and Lee County borderlands, with features like Lake Sule and Lake Lida punctuating the terrain near the interstate corridors. The rural character of the surrounding area is preserved in the smaller settlement of Flagg Center, surrounded by a grid of named roads like E Twombly Rd and S Mulford Rd.
