2012 Map of Belvidere North

About this map

Belvidere serves as the focal point of this northern Illinois survey, situated along the banks of the Kishwaukee River. The map captures the city's organized street grid and its surrounding landscape of rural crossroads and growing residential pockets like Timberlane and Poplar Grove. A dense network of burial grounds, including the large Belvidere Cem, Saint James Catholic Cem, and the more remote Lawrenceville Cem, provides significant detail for genealogical research. The region's transport and recreational infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the Poplar Grove Airport and the expansive Highland Garden of Memories. Waterways such as Piscasaw Cr and Beaver Cr traverse the township, while landmarks like Camp Epworth and Belvidere Park indicate the area's established community spaces and local heritage.
