2021 Map of Sycamore
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Sycamore and DeKalb anchor this 2021 landscape, a region defined by the convergence of the South Branch Kishwaukee River and the East Branch South Kishwaukee River. As the seat of DeKalb County, the city of Sycamore is centered around the Dekalb County Courthouse, while the surrounding prairie is marked by a legacy of rural burial grounds like Ohio Grove Cem and Mound Rest Cem. This modern survey illustrates the expansive reach of aviation and transport in the area, showing three distinct airfields including De Kalb Taylor Municipal Airport and Ruder Airport. The agricultural heritage of the Illinois plains remains visible through drainage features like Union Ditch Number 1, which manage the low-lying lands between the growing urban centers.
