2018 Map of Capron

About this map

Capron and Chemung sit at the southern edge of this Illinois and Wisconsin borderland, where the agricultural grid of McHenry and Boone Counties meets the state line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Piscasaw Creek and its various branches, which cut through the farm country between Sharon and Lawrence. This modern-era survey documents a high density of rural burial sites, including the Burr Oak Cem, Dullam Cem, and Long Prairie Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research in this long-settled farming region. Small aviation hubs like Pine Hill Airport, SD Aero, and Dacy Airport are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the area's mix of traditional agriculture and local transport infrastructure. The eastern edge of the map begins to touch the outskirts of Harvard, showing the interface between the open prairie and more concentrated settlements.
