About this map

The Rock River corridor defines the geography of northern Illinois in this late 2010s survey, where the urban landscape of Rockford transitions into the suburban and residential communities of Loves Park, Machesney Park, and North Park. This map is particularly notable for its dense cluster of historical burial grounds along the river bluffs, including the sprawling Greenwood Cem, Rockford Hebrew Cem, and the adjacent Saint Marys and Saint James Cem.

Further south, the landscape is punctuated by Turtle Mound and the steep elevation of Lookout Point, offering a glimpse into the topographical features that influenced early settlement patterns. Educational institutions such as Rockford Univ and the Rockford Career College are integrated into the city grid, while river features like Montague Island and Denton Island remain prominent landmarks in the river's path through the city center.
