The Rock River and Kishwaukee River converge in this industrial and aviation corridor south of Rockford. This contemporary survey details the expansive footprint of the Chicago/Rockford International Airport, which dominates the landscape west of New Milford. The map provides a clear view of the transition from dense urban street grids near Union Cem to the open agricultural lands of the Winnebago and Ogle County border. Smaller communities like Morristown, Harrisville, and Davis Junction are mapped alongside significant landmarks such as Blackhawk Island and Cherry Valley. For local historians and genealogists, the inclusion of Milford Cem and the intricate drainage patterns of Killbuck Creek offer essential geographic context for tracing family roots and land ownership in northern Illinois.
