About this map

The village of Elburn and the surrounding townships of Campton and Blackberry define this region of Kane County during the early 1990s. The landscape is characterized by a mix of agricultural heritage and increasing suburban development, with many small family burying grounds such as Blackberry Cem and New Hampshire Cem preserved amidst the shifting land use. The Chicago and North Western railway corridor provides a clear industrial and transport axis through the southern portion of the sheet, passing through La Fox.

To the north, the Great Western Trail repurposes older transit corridors, winding through the township of Campton near Lake Campton. Local landmarks like the Broadview Academy and the Illinois Youth Center St Charles offer specific points of interest for local historians. Waterways such as Blackberry Creek and Ferson Creek drain the undulating terrain, punctuated by several preserved areas including the Campton County Forest Preserve and Elburn Co Forest Preserv.
