2012 Map of Elburn

About this map

Elburn and Campton Hills anchor this 2012 study of the Kane County landscape, where the shifting boundary between residential development and prairie agricultural land is clearly visible. The region is defined by a dense network of suburban clusters such as Silver Glen Meadows, Fair Oaks, and Foxfield, many established on land once dominated by large farmsteads. Significant water features like the East Branch South Branch Kishwaukee River and Blackberry Cr wind through the terrain, while the man-made Virgil Ditch Number 1 indicates the historical efforts to manage the area's hydrology. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of several pioneer-era burial grounds, including the New Hampshire Settlement Cem and the Garfield Farm Cem. Transport remains centered on regional arteries like Burlington Rd and the small aviation hub at Aeroview Airport.
