USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Waterman and the surrounding DeKalb County prairie land are defined here by a strictly organized grid of rural roads and rail lines in the early 1970s. The landscape is anchored by the crossing of the Burlington Northern and Chicago and North Western railroads, which facilitated the region's agricultural economy. This survey documents the specific locations of pioneer-era landmarks, most notably the Chief Shabbona Grave located within the Chief Shabbona Forest Preserve.
