2024 Map of McHenry

About this map

McHenry and its surrounding Fox River communities are captured in this recent survey, showcasing a landscape where suburban growth meets the waterways of McHenry County. The Fox River serves as a central artery, winding past McHenry Shores, Riverstream, and Emerald Park. To the northwest, the large basin of Wonder Lake is ringed by residential developments, while McCullom Lake sits just north of the city center. Historical markers are frequent throughout the quadrangle, including numerous burial grounds like Holcombville Cem, Bluff City Cem, and Ostend Cem. These sites, along with smaller crossroads like Holcombville Corners and the industrial-named Terra Cotta, provide vital clues for local historians. Educational and recreational landmarks such as McHenry County College and Crystal Lake Memorial Park highlight the area's modern infrastructure within a geography still defined by glacial lakes and creek drainages like Boone Creek.
