About this map

The Fox River corridor serves as the primary axis for this survey of the Fox Valley, detailing the closely linked communities of Geneva, Batavia, and Aurora during a period of modern suburban density. The river's character is defined by several notable landforms, including Stolp Island in the heart of Aurora, Spiers Island, and North Aurora Island. These areas reflect a complex history of urban planning and industrial development situated along the waterway.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional concentration of burial sites, ranging from the Resurrection Catholic Cem in the north to the West Aurora Cem and Root Street Cem further south. The map also captures specialized enclaves like the child-focused community of Mooseheart and religious institutions such as Marmion Abbey Cem. Educational and recreational hubs are prominent, including the Aurora University campus and the neighborhood of Exposition View, all connected by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe RR.
