About this map

The Fox River corridor serves as the central spine of this 2015 survey, anchoring the historic communities of St. Charles, Geneva, and South Elgin. This portion of the Fox River Valley illustrates a landscape where early settlement patterns and modern suburban development converge. Notable historical landmarks like Dunham Castle stand east of the river, while a network of cemeteries including Oak Hill Cem, Union Cem, and Prairie Cem provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing local families.

The geography is defined by the river’s varied course, featuring several riverine landmarks such as Five Islands and Boy Scout Island. Residential growth is evident in established and emerging neighborhoods like Youngsdale, Valley View, and Wildrose Valley. To the east, the presence of the Dupage Airport and proximity to West Chicago highlight the area's role as a regional transportation and commerce hub, while preserved spaces like Ferson Creek Woods and Mallard Lake South maintain the valley's natural character amidst the expanding built environment.
