2015 Map of Harvard

About this map

Harvard serves as the primary hub of this northern Illinois region, where a dense grid of streets meets the open farmland of McHenry County. The landscape is defined by its proximity to the Wisconsin border, marked clearly by State Line Rd as it passes north of Big Foot Prairie. This 2015 survey illustrates a well-connected agricultural and residential corridor, characterized by a series of family and local burial grounds including Mount Auburn Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, and Jerome Cem. Small settlements like Alden dot the terrain to the east, while transportation and regional connectivity are highlighted by the presence of Kirkpatrick Airport near the state boundary. The map provides a contemporary record of how these rural communities and the town of Harvard are integrated into the rolling topography of the Upper Midwest.
