2015 Map of Elburn

About this map

Campton Hills and its surrounding residential developments characterize this central Kane County landscape, where modern suburban expansion meets deep-rooted local history. The map highlights numerous burial grounds that serve as touchstones for genealogists, including the New Hampshire Settlement Cem and the Saint Gall Catholic Cem. Small settlements and distinct neighborhoods like Wasco and Plato Corners are situated among a network of tributaries such as Stony Cr and Blackberry Cr. The presence of several family-named landmarks, like the L R Baker Cem, points to the agricultural families who established the area before it became part of the westward growth from Elgin. The terrain is marked by pockets of water like Horseshoe Lake and Turtle Rock Lake, integrated into the contemporary township structure.
