Balfour sits at the heart of this McHenry County landscape, oriented around a street grid that includes Railroad Ave and Sahr Ave. The town's historical geography is further anchored by the Balfour Cem to the south. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of the Wintering River, which creates distinctive wetland environments such as the Wintering River Flats and Connia Slough. These hydrologic features contribute to a landscape dominated by conservation, notably the McHenry County Waterfowl Production Area. To the northwest, Hogback Ridge provides a break in the glacial drift plain. The map reveals the classic prairie township structure, with section lines marked by roads like Old Hwy 52 and a dense network of numbered range roads.
