About this map

Woodstock serves as the focal point of this 1960s study, showing a developed municipal core surrounded by the agricultural townships of Hartland, Greenwood, Seneca, and Dorr. The local economy and layout are defined by the Chicago and North Western railway, which bisects the city and connects it to the wider region. Institutional landmarks including the Courthouse, Marian High Sch, and St Marys Sch anchor the downtown grid, while peripheral developments like the Woodstock Country Club and Mass Airport reflect mid-century growth.

The landscape outside the city is a mix of glacial terrain and water features, including the Kishwaukee Valley and the Kishwaukee River. Family and local history are preserved in numerous sites such as the Scandinavian Cem and Oakland Cem. Small residential clusters and recreation spots, notably at Wonder Lake and Lily Lake, punctuate the rural sections, connected by an extensive network of named local roads like Queen Anne Road and Rafferty Road.
