1971 Map of Rockford North

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Rockford and its northern suburbs are defined by the winding course of the Rock River in this early 1970s topographic survey. The urban core of Rockford is dense with civic and social infrastructure, from the Courthouse and City Hall to numerous neighborhood landmarks like the Swedish-American Hospital and the sprawling Cedar Bluff Cemetery. To the north, the industrial and residential growth of Loves Park and North Park is visible, punctuated by the Machesney Airport and the Rockford Speedway. The landscape is a mix of established city blocks and expanding recreational spaces like Sinnissippi Park and Rock Cut State Park. The region's transport network is well-defined, featuring the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad and the Illinois Central lines that historically fueled the manufacturing economy of the Rock River Valley.
