Sterling and Rock Falls anchor this portion of Whiteside County, situated on the banks of the Rock River. The urban grid is defined by historical expansion through neighborhoods like Grimes Addition, Woodland Hills, and Yeoward Addition. This 2011 aerial-based survey captures the industrial and residential core of the twin cities, where the river serves as both a geographic divide and a focal point for activity at Oppold Marina and Crystal Lake.
