Built at a River Confluence
Rockton sits at the confluence of the Rock and Pecatonica Rivers, the same water-power site William Talcott sought out in 1835 when he founded the village that merged with Stephen Mack Jr.'s Macktown after an 1851 bridge washout.
Two Rivers, Not One, to Plan Around
That location makes for scenic deck sites but also means footing depth and drainage need to account for two rivers' worth of seasonal water-table movement rather than one.
