About this map

The Fox River carves a deep valley through this corner of Northern Illinois, serving as the central axis for a series of established suburban and riverside communities. In the early 1990s, the landscape is defined by its numerous water bodies and conservation lands, including the sprawling County Forest Preserve and several private recreation areas like the Biltmore Country Club. The Chicago and North Western railroad line runs parallel to the river, anchoring the commercial centers of Cary and Fox River Grove.

Institutional and residential development is concentrated around the village of Barrington, where local landmarks like the Town Hall and schools such as Hough Sch are clearly marked. The map illustrates a complex geography of municipal boundaries, where Barrington Hills and North Barrington mingle with smaller enclaves like Oakwood Hills. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the quadrangle, including White Cem and Windridge Cem, located near the intersection of various county lines.
