About this map

The southern expansion of Belvidere and its industrial corridors along Chrysler Dr anchor this Boonde County survey, showing the transition from urban manufacturing to the agricultural border of DeKalb County. The landscape is defined by the small drainages of Coon Creek and Mosquito Cr that wind through the prairie terrain. Outside the city center, the map serves as a vital record for genealogists, marking several historic burial grounds including Bloods Point Cem, Shattucks Grove Cem, and Charter Oak Cem.

Small rural clusters like Herbert and Colvin Park appear in the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the enduring settlement patterns in this part of Illinois. Local aviation is represented by private strips such as Untied Acres Airport, Henderson Airport, and Fox Field, which are scattered among the section-line roads and creek beds. The boundary between Boone and DeKalb counties bisects the lower third of the map near the Kingsbury Cr drainage.
