2018 Map of Elburn

About this map

Elburn sits at the heart of this Kane County landscape, where the headwaters of Blackberry Cr and Mill Cr drain the glacial terrain. The map records a dense network of local history, preserved in the distribution of family and pioneer burial sites such as Saint Gall Cem, Blackberry Cem, and the small L. M. Baker Cem to the north. These sites, along with the community of Wasco and the village of Lily Lake, reflect the long-standing agricultural and residential character of the region west of the Fox River cities. The terrain is marked by distinct drainage patterns like Lily Lake Run and the E Br S Br Kishwaukee River, while modern developments in Campton Hills and the edges of Elgin show the evolving suburban footprint over this historic prairie landscape.
