The Fox River corridor defines the western reaches of this region, where the steep terrain of Ski Hill and the winding Flint Creek navigate between several lakeside communities. Established burial grounds including Windridge Cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery offer valuable points of interest for those tracking local lineages in Barrington and Cary. The landscape is dominated by glacial topography, featuring numerous bodies of water such as Tower Lake, Honey Lake, and Goose Lake, often surrounded by modern suburban development like Barrington Hills and North Barrington. The Metra rail line runs northwest to southeast, cutting through the heart of Fox River Grove and Barrington. This 2015 layout documents the intersection of three counties and the preservation of open spaces like Grassy Lake amidst the continued residential expansion of the Northwest Suburbs.
