About this map

Woodstock serves as the focal point of this McHenry County study, showing the city's infrastructure and residential expansion during the mid-twentieth century. The rail lines of the Chicago and North Western bisect the town, anchoring a landscape that blends urban development with rural township divisions. To the northeast, the shoreline of Wonder Lake is visible, while the southern reaches follow the course of the Kishwaukee River through Dorr and Seneca townships.

Educational and civic life is well-documented through numerous institutions like Marian High Sch, Clay Street Sch, and the St Marys Sch. Local history researchers will find value in the specific placement of the Scandinavian Cem and Oakland Cem, alongside landmarks such as the Courthouse and the local Fairground. Numerous gravel pits dot the outskirts, reflecting the region's geological and industrial character during this era of growth.
