I took a look at a current map using place names given yesterday to see if such a road exists as I have not been able to find any other mention of a Douglas Highway in Illinois.
It was to enter Illinois at Orangeville near the Wisconsin border which would make it Highway 26 today. It would remain Highway 26 through Freeport and Forrestown.
At Polo, it would become US-52 and remain that through Woosung, Dixon, Lee center, Shaw Center to Mendota. From there it would be US-51 through the rest of the state going south to the Mississippi River.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
