2017 Map of Anamoose

About this map

Anamoose anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, where the grid of Main St and Ave B E meets the prairie. This agricultural landscape in McHenry County is defined by its glacial potholes and internal drainage, featuring significant water bodies like Aylmer Lake and the Antelope Lakes group. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the broad Antelope Valley, a topographic depression that cuts through the surrounding plains. For those tracing family histories in the region, the map identifies three distinct burial sites: Saint Francis Cem, Anamoose Baptist Cem, and Sunrise (EUB) Cem, each reflecting the denominational heritage of the early settlers. A rail line corridor serves the small settlement of Aylmer, which sits centrally at the junction of the county line and the sectional road grid.
