About this map

Nippersink Creek and its northern branches define this landscape along the Illinois-Wisconsin border, carving a path through the rolling terrain between Richmond and Johnsburg. The 2015 survey reveals a corridor of established settlements and newer developments like Sunrise Ridge, all connected by a dense network of roads such as Broadway RD and E Kuhn RD. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, from the Saint Josephs Cem in the north to the Ringwood Cem further south.

Residential growth is evident around the shores of Wonder Lake, particularly at Wonder Center and its associated beach. Small hamlets like Solon Mills and Belden maintain their distinct identity amidst the agricultural fields. The map also captures the transition between Mchenry Co, Illinois, and the neighboring Wisconsin counties of Walworth Co and Kenosha Co, showing how the interstate line divides communities like Genoa City.
