About this map

Rock River and Kishwaukee River converge in this urban and suburban landscape south of the city center. The map reveals an intricate network of residential developments and industrial zones, including the Chicago/Rockford International Airport which dominates the western sector. Numerous small subdivisions such as Victory Homes, Normandy Heights, and Indian Village illustrate the mid-to-late 20th-century expansion of the area.

South of the urban core, the terrain shifts toward more open land and utility sites like the Orchard Hills Landfill. Local history and recreational sites are well-represented, from the Starkey Cem and New Milford Cem to the leisure spaces at Sandy Hollow Golf Course and Camp Rotary. The presence of distinctive river features like Island Number 1 and Blackhawk Island highlights the geographical importance of the waterway corridors to the region's layout.
