2015 Map of Big Rock

About this map

The agrarian landscape of western Kane County is meticulously detailed here, defined by the winding course of Big Rock Creek and its many tributaries like Welch Cr and Swan Drain. This area shows the intersection of historic rural communities and modern transportation corridors, with the village of Kaneville serving as a central hub for the surrounding township. Significant local history markers include several burial sites such as the Kaneville Cem and West Big Rock Cem, alongside the Community Methodist Cem near the small settlement of Troxel. The terrain is marked by a complex network of drainage systems like the Malgren Drain and Duffin Drain, which support the intensive agriculture of the region. Transportation is anchored by major routes such as Main ST and Dauberman RD, while aviation history is represented by the J Maddock Airport near the town of Big Rock.
