2011 Map of Drake

About this map

Drake serves as the primary hub of this McHenry County landscape, showing a structured grid of residential streets including Cedar St, Main St, and High St. The surrounding countryside follows a rigorous section-line road network, where the small settlements of Norfolk and Funston are situated near ephemeral water bodies and the larger Flat Lake to the north. This area reflects a deeply rooted community history, evidenced by the distribution of local burial grounds. Genealogists and historians will find notable landmarks such as Zion Cemetery, Sons of Herman Cemetery, and Saint Martins Cemetery positioned across the prairie, marking the legacy of early families and fraternal organizations in the region. The landscape is primarily defined by its agricultural layout, punctuated by the various section roads like 40th St NE and 10th Ave NE.
