2021 Map of Marengo North

About this map

The Kishwaukee River system dominates this northern Illinois landscape, with the north and south branches converging near the city of Marengo. This modern survey documents a region defined by its transition from the northern edges of the city into the agricultural reaches of McHenry County. Small rural airfields like Hilbert Airport and Hunter Airport are scattered across the terrain, indicating a landscape of open fields and private aviation. The map preserves the locations of vital community landmarks for local historians, including the Sacred Heart Cem and South Dunham Cem near the western edge. Tracing the route of E Us Rte 14 northwest from the settlement of Hartland, one can see how contemporary road networks follow long-established transit corridors through the river valley and past older hamlets like Franklinville.
