2021 Map of Capron

About this map

Piscasaw Creek and its many tributaries, including W Br Piscasaw Creek and Lawrence Creek, define the rural landscape along the Illinois and Wisconsin border. The area is anchored by the larger community of Harvard in the east and Capron in the southwest, with smaller settlements like Chemung and Lawrence situated along the drainage of Mokeler Creek. This 2021 survey illustrates a region where family history is deeply rooted, evidenced by the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Burr Oak Cemetery, Dullam Cemetery, and Long Prairie Cemetery. Small-scale aviation is a notable characteristic of this landscape, with private facilities like Pine Hill Airport, Twin Gardens Airport, and Dacy Airport dotting the countryside. The map also records the precise path of State Line Road, marking the boundary between Walworth, Boone, and McHenry counties.
