About this map

The Fox River corridor in northern LaSalle County is the defining natural feature of this area, winding past the village of Sheridan and the community of Catharine. This portion of Northville Township is characterized by a high concentration of small rural burial grounds, including the Seaman Cem, Elerding Cem, and Northville Cem, providing a detailed spatial record for genealogical research. To the north, the residential developments surrounding Lake Holiday create a distinct suburban contrast to the agricultural landscape elsewhere.

Aviation and agriculture define the local economy, with several private airfields such as Harrington Farms Airport and Walnut Creek Airport scattered across the township. The presence of the Century Acres Dairy Farm near Roods Cr underscores the region's enduring farming roots. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern layout of rural roads and established settlements as they appeared in the early 21st century, from the dense street grid of Sheridan to the scattered hamlets along Somonauk Cr.
