About this map

McHenry and Crystal Lake anchor this 2018 topographic study, showing the dense network of residential subdivisions and local waterways that characterize this part of McHenry County. The Fox River flows through the eastern half, passing by established neighborhoods like Riverstream, McHenry Shores, and Emerald Park. A distinct chain of glacial lakes, including Wonder Lake, McCullom Lake, and Lily Lake, dictates the local geography and the layout of communities like Johnsburg and Bull Valley.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites and older corners documented, such as Holcombville Cem near Holcombville Corners and Ridgefield Cem in the southwest. Educational and community landmarks are clearly marked, including the McHenry County College campus and Crystal Lake Memorial Park. The map also captures the varied terrain around Terra Cotta and Prairie Grove, where residential expansion meets protected open spaces and winding tributaries like Boone Creek.
