2012 Map of Marengo North

About this map

Agricultural operations and family orchards dominate the landscape north of Marengo, Illinois, at the beginning of the 2010s. This survey of the Kishwaukee River basin reveals an area deeply rooted in specialized farming, including Prairie Sky Orchard, Lang's Orchard, and Woodstock Country Orchard, alongside the production facilities of Central Sod Farms. The geography is defined by the winding course of the N Br Kishwaukee River and its sister branches, which cut through the township grid between the established settlements of Hartland and Franklinville. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds such as South Dunham Cem and Pioneer Cem, while the presence of Hunter Airport and Aerogrange Airport indicates a high density of private aviation facilities serving the rural McHenry County community.
