2024 Map of Scales Mound East

The central portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling reaches of Apple Canyon Lake, a reservoir fed by the West Fork Apple River and Hells Branch. The development around the lake features a dense network of modern residential roads such as General Lee Dr and Apache Dr, contrasting with the more traditional rural grid of E Stagecoach Trl and N Charles Mound Rd. This survey documents the intersection of Jo Daviess County’s agrarian roots and its mid-to-late 20th-century recreational transformation.
