Waterman and Shabbona anchor this portrait of southern DeKalb County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Kishwaukee River system and Somonauk Creek. The map reveals a highly developed rural infrastructure of family-named roads like Mc Girr Road and Duffy Road, alongside small aviation facilities such as the Diedrich Landing Strip and Watson Landing Strip. This period shows the establishment of the Shabbona Lake State Recreational Area, a significant artificial water body that transformed the local drainage of Indian Creek.
