About this map

The Fox River snakes through the western half of this suburban Chicago landscape, anchoring a series of riverside communities including Cary, Fox River Grove, and Port Barrington. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, where glacial remnants have left a dense concentration of lakes and wetlands such as Cotton Creek Marsh, Grassy Lake, and Silver Lake. The map reveals the intricate residential development of the late 2010s, with winding subdivision roads surrounding older landmarks like the Ski Hill and several local cemeteries including Evergreen Cem and Windridge Cem.

Transit patterns are clearly visible, with the Metra line providing a vital link through Barrington and Cary. The intersection of four counties—McHenry, Lake, Kane, and Cook—creates a unique jurisdictional borderland where the village of Barrington Hills and Inverness meet. This survey provides a precise account of the modern interface between established townships like Cuba and the preserved open spaces of the Spring Lake and Hawley Lake areas.
