2018 Map of Harvard

About this map

Harvard sits as the central hub of this northern Illinois landscape, where the street grid transitions into a vast agricultural network split by the Wisconsin border. The boundary between McHenry County and Walworth County is clearly defined at Big Foot Prairie, a name that hints at the area's deeper history. Notable for genealogists and local historians are the numerous burial sites scattered across the township, including Saint Joseph Cem, Mount Auburn Cem, and the small Jerome Cem located south of the main settlement. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Mokeler Cr and the N Br Kishwaukee River, while smaller communities like Alden appear along Co Hwy 1. Aviation interests are represented by the Kirkpatrick Airport, which lies just south of the state line near Big Foot Cem.
