2015 Map of Riley

About this map

Coon Cr and Spring Cr wind through this rural corridor at the junction of McHenry, Boone, and DeKalb counties. The map captures the agricultural and transportation layout of the area near Riley and the southern edge of Marengo, where Interstate 90 bisects the landscape. Local history is preserved in several rural burial sites, including Barber Cem, Ney Cem, and North Kingston Cem, which serve as important landmarks for genealogical research. Small-scale aviation is represented by Walpole Airport and the Wind Rose Farm Airport. The road network remains dominated by long stretches of family-named thoroughfares like Carlson Rd and Garden Prairie Rd, reflecting the enduring farm-based economy of the region. This survey also identifies the Indian Trails park area, marking a dedicated recreational space amidst the extensive grid of section lines and township boundaries.
