2020 Map of Karlsruhe

About this map

The settlement of Karlsruhe anchors this section of McHenry County, where a grid of streets including Grace St, Odessa St, and Moscow St reflects the community's heritage. The town's religious and civic roots are visible at the Saints Peter and Paul Cem located on its northern edge. Beyond the developed area, the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Wintering River, which meanders across the prairie, and the distinctive elevation of Hogback Ridge in the southwest corner. The rural topography is dotted with wetlands and smaller water bodies like Herrington Lake, while the Stenso Cem sits isolated in the southern fields, marking the early settlement patterns of this agricultural region. A strictly organized grid of county roads, such as 47th St NE and Central Ave N, provides the framework for the modern landscape.
