2020 Map of Karlsruhe NE

About this map

The Souris River meanders across this McHenry County landscape, joined by the Wintering River in a region defined by its complex glacial hydrology. The terrain is marked by numerous wetlands and small basins, including Poison Lake to the north and Heffner Lake in the east. This 2020 data captures the rural character of the northern plains, where the rectilinear grid of section roads like 57th St N and 50th St NE overlays the winding natural waterways. For those researching local family history, the Norway Lutheran Cem stands as a significant landmark of the area's early settlement. The map provides a clear view of the agricultural divisions between Township 155 North and Township 154 North, illustrating how the land has been managed and partitioned in relation to the river valley.
