About this map

Norwich serves as a primary point of reference in this mid-century survey of McHenry County, situated where the Great Northern railway cuts through the northern plains. The landscape is defined by the broad drainage patterns of Kottke Valley and the winding course of Egg Creek, alongside its tributary South Egg Creek. The settlement pattern of the late 1940s is clearly visible through a network of rural institutions, including the Rising Ch and several numbered schoolhouses such as Sch No 4, Sch No 2, and Sch No 3. These features, along with the Norwich Cem, provide a detailed record of the community infrastructure that supported the agricultural families in the region. The map also captures several distinct topographical depressions and drainages like Bog Valley and Hay Coulee, which illustrate the natural hydrology of the area before modern land-use changes.
