2015 Map of Hampshire

About this map

Hampshire and Burlington anchor this mid-2010s survey of the agricultural and residential landscape spanning the boundary of DeKalb and Kane Counties. The map reveals a transition between rural farmsteads and growing village centers, with established residential streets like E Washington Ave and Industrial Dr showing the community's modern footprint. This area is particularly rich in genealogical sites, featuring several small burial grounds such as the Ward Family Cem and Union Cem. The presence of the Aero Lake Estates Airport near New Lebanon highlights the integration of private aviation within this prairie landscape. The drainage of Coon Cr meanders through the western half of the quadrangle, illustrating the natural watercourses that shaped early settlement patterns before the modern road grid of Allen Rd and Plank Rd became dominant.
