About this map

McHenry and Crystal Lake anchor this 2012 survey of northeastern Illinois, documenting a landscape where dense residential neighborhoods meet preserved open spaces and historical rural corners. The Fox River flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary geographic feature that connects Riverstream, McHenry Shores, and Emerald Park. The map captures a high density of local heritage sites, including Saint Marys Cem, Woodland Cem, and Saint Patricks Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of McHenry County.

Institutional and recreational landmarks are prominently marked, from the campus of McHenry County College to the sprawling Boone Creek Golf Course. Residential expansion is evident in the network of streets surrounding McCullom Lake and Bull Valley, while older settlement patterns remain visible at Holcombville Corners and the community of Terra Cotta. The survey provides a clear view of the balance between established municipal centers and the natural water features like Wonder Lake and Boone Creek.
