2021 Map of Belvidere North

About this map

Poplar Grove and the northern outskirts of Belvidere anchor this northern Illinois landscape, where residential development meets the agricultural plains of Boone County. The map captures a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Clark Cem, Andrus Cem, and the South Poplar Grove Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. To the west, the planned community surrounding Candlewick Lake shows a distinct suburban layout with streets like Lamplighter Loop SE and Candlewick Blvd SE contrasting with the traditional grid of the older townships. Waterways such as Piscasaw Creek and the Kishwaukee River meander through the terrain, while the Poplar Grove Airport and Bob Walberg Field highlight the area's modern infrastructure. The presence of Highland Garden of Memories and the Saint James Catholic Cem further emphasizes the deep-rooted community history concentrated along these drainage basins.
