2018 Map of Aurora South

About this map

The Fox River corridor serves as the primary geographic anchor for this 2018 study, where the expanding urban footprints of Aurora, Montgomery, and Oswego converge. This area is notable for its concentration of historic burial grounds, ranging from large Catholic sites like Mount Olivet Catholic Cem and Saint Paul's Catholic Cem to smaller family and community landmarks such as Wormley Cem and Pearce Cem. The landscape reflects a transition from established riverfront centers to modern residential developments like Boulder Hill. Educational and recreational spaces are well-defined, including the Waubonsie Community College and South Park. Further south and east, the map traces the drainage of Morgan Cr and E Aux Sable Cr through the developing outskirts of Plainfield and Tamarack, illustrating the ongoing transformation of traditional Illinois farmland into suburban residential tracts.
