2012 Map of Rockford North

About this map

The Rock River carves through this northern Illinois corridor, anchoring the industrial and residential growth between Rockford and Machesney Park. Along its banks, distinctive landmarks like Turtle Mound and Montague Island appear alongside the urban core's historical infrastructure, including the Chicago, Milwaukee and Saint Paul Railroad Depot and the Rockford News Tower. The map reveals a dense concentration of civic and spiritual centers, from Rockford College to numerous memorial sites such as Greenwood Cemetery and the Scandinavian Cemetery. To the north, the transition from city to suburb is marked by leisure and transit hubs like the Rockford Speedway and Eicher Airport. The landscape is further defined by its many neighborhoods, including Sturbridge Village and Loves Park, and the smaller watercourses of Willow Creek and Keith Creek that feed into the main river valley.
