About this map

Granville anchors the southern portion of this McHenry County landscape, showing a structured grid of streets including 6th St and Main St. The town's historical footprint is further marked by the Granville Cem located just to the east. The surrounding prairie is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and drainage systems, most notably the McHenry County Waterfowl Production Area, which preserves critical habitat in this section of the Drift Plain.

Water defines the geography here, with the meandering paths of Egg Creek and South Egg Creek carving through the terrain. To the northeast, the shoreline of Buffalo Lodge Lake and the nearby North Lake offer a clear look at the region's glacial legacy. Elevated landmarks like Buffalo Lodge Butte provide rare relief in a landscape otherwise dominated by coulees, such as Hay Coulee, and the systematic section-line road network that partitions the agricultural land.
