2020 Map of Karlsruhe NW

About this map

The Souris River meanders through the central and southern portions of this McHenry County landscape, defining the local topography with its winding channel and associated wetlands. This 2020 survey illustrates a predominantly rural grid system, with most travel constrained to numbered section roads like 57th St N and 7th Ave N. A quiet historical landmark, Trinity Cem, sits on higher ground west of the river, providing a significant point of interest for genealogists researching families in the vicinity of Township 155 North, Range 78 West. The transition from the flat agricultural plains of the northern sections to the more complex riverine environment highlights the importance of the river for both drainage and transportation, as seen with modern access routes like Souris Dr and River Dr N.
