About this map

The Rock River dominates this northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin landscape, flowing south through Beloit and South Beloit before meeting the Pecatonica River at Rockton. This 2015 survey illustrates the industrial and residential continuity across the state line, where the Soo Line railroad corridors and major thoroughfares like Gardner St link the communities. The map provides significant detail for genealogists and local historians, pinpointing several burial grounds including Rockton Township Cem, Floral Lawn Cem, and Roscoe Cem.

South of the border, the suburban expansion of Roscoe and Machesney Park is evident, while the river's winding path creates distinct landforms such as Boney Island. Smaller residential pockets like Morehaven and Riverdale sit along the riverbanks, contrasted by specialized sites such as the Blackhawk Farms Raceway LLC Airport in the western reaches. This modern edition serves as a precise record of the developed river valley before further 21st-century growth.
