About this map

Sandwich and Somonauk anchor the southern landscape of this northern Illinois region, where the boundary between DeKalb and LaSalle counties crosses through agricultural land. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Somonauk Creek, which feeds into the recreational waters of Lake Holiday near Woodlake Landing. This contemporary survey reflects the enduring rural structure of the area, punctuated by small aviation landmarks like George Airport and the tiny community of Franks further north.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic burial sites scattered across the townships, including Van Olindas Cem, Oak Ridge Cem, and Saint Paul Catholic Cem. The map provides a clear record of the modern road network, from established routes like the Governor Beveridge Hwy and Chicago Rd to the residential streets of Hidden Oaks, documenting the intersection of long-standing family farm tracts and newer developments.
