USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Rockford dominates the southern landscape of this 1938 revision, situated at the confluence of the Rock River and Keith Creek. The city's industrial and residential footprint is shown alongside Loves Park and Westmoreland, while the surrounding Winnebago County countryside is defined by an intensive network of rural one-room schoolhouses. Notable institutions such as the Winnebago County Boys Reform School and numerous named schools like Whig Hill School and Falconer School suggest a densely populated farming community.
