About this map

Poplar Grove and the northern reaches of Belvidere anchor this northern Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid meets modern residential expansion and established civic institutions. The southern edge of the sheet captures the historic heart of the county seat, including the Boone County Courthouse and the extensive grounds of Belvidere Cem. This area demonstrates a dense network of local history, from the Saint James Catholic Cem to the Highland Garden of Memories.

Rural aviation and water resources define the outlying territory, with the Poplar Grove Airport and Bob Walberg Field serving the region. The drainage of the Kishwaukee River and its tributaries, such as Piscasaw Creek and Beaver Creek, carve through the terrain. The residential development at Candlewick Lake in the northwest contrasts with the traditional farmsteads and numerous small burial grounds like Clark Cem and South Poplar Grove Cem that dot the countryside.
