2015 Map of Rockford South

About this map

The Rock River flows through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by its intersection of aviation infrastructure and suburban growth. The sprawling Chicago/Rockford International Airport dominates the central west, situated between the river and the arterial S Main St. To the south, the confluence of the Kishwaukee River and Killbuck Creek shapes the settlement patterns around New Milford and Morristown. This modern survey illustrates the transition from the dense street grids of southern Rockford to the expanding residential developments of Maywood Manor and Cherry Valley. In the lower portions of the map, the boundary between Winnebago and Ogle County marks the edge of the Rockford metropolitan influence as it moves toward Davis Junction, while local history is preserved at Starkey Cem and New Milford Cem.
