2012 Map of Shabbona Grove

About this map

Shabbona Grove and the agricultural lands of southern DeKalb County are defined by a grid of rural roads and the winding paths of Indian Cr and Little Indian Cr. This 2012 survey captures the area during a period of transition, where legacy agricultural sites like Timber Edge Farm and Johnson Farm sit alongside modern recreation at Shabbona Lake. Local history is preserved in small, dedicated plots such as Old Stevens Cem and Victor Cem, which anchor the landscape to earlier generations of settlers. The presence of Dewey Airport and several specialized park grounds, including the Three Fires Picnic Area and Sommonauk Point Picnic Area, illustrates the integration of public space and private aviation into this traditional farming community.
