About this map

The N Br Kishwaukee River and its southern branches carve through this McHenry County landscape, defining the rural character of the region north of Marengo. This 2015 survey illustrates a patchwork of agricultural land and small airfields, including Hunter Airport, Hilbert Airport, and Aerogrange Airport, which speak to the area's light aviation history and open terrain.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds documented, from South Dunham Cem in the west to the Pioneer Cem near Franklinville. The map also captures the small settlement of Hartland in the northeast corner. The road network, including historic routes like Kishwaukee Valley Rd and Dunham Rd, connects these longstanding communities, while the intersection of river branches provides a clear view of the natural drainage patterns that have influenced land use in this part of Illinois for generations.
