Soil Survey of McHenry County, Illinois By Dale E. Calsyn, Natural Resources Conservation Service Fieldwork by B.W. Ray and H.L. Wascher, Department of Agronomy; A.H. Reimer, C.A. Skimina, and P.T. Veale, Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station; and D.C. Hallbick, E.G. Holhubner, R.L. Newbury, and L.H. Pierard, Soil Conservation Service Updated by Dale E. Calsyn, Jeffrey A. Deniger, and Eric J. Engel, Natural Resources Conservation Service Additional detailed fieldwork provided by William R. Kreznor and Robert Oja, Certified Professional Soil Classifiers Map compilation by Jeffrey A. Deniger, Karla D. Hanson, Ellen M. Starr, and Michael B. Walker, Natural Resources Conservation Service United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, in cooperation with the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station MCHENRY COUNTY is in northeastern Illinois. It has an area of 391,220 acres, or 611 square miles. In 1990, the population of the county was 183,241 (U.S. Department of Commerce, 1990). Woodstock is the county seat. Crystal Lake and McHenry are the largest cities. The county is bordered by Kenosha and Walworth Counties, Wisconsin, on the north; by Lake County on the east; by Cook, Kane, and DeKalb Counties on the south; and by Boone County on the west. This soil survey updates the survey of McHenry County published by the University of Illinois in 1965 (Ray and Wascher, 1965). It provides additional information and has larger maps, which show the soils in greater detail. General Nature of the Survey Area This section provides general information about McHenry County. It describes history; physiography, relief, and drainage; natural resources; urbanization; agriculture; transportation facilities; industry; and climate. History Nancy J. Fike, McHenry County Historical Society, helped prepare this section. 11 A small number of Indians, primarily Potawatomi, lived in the survey area. They were protected by the Treaty of Chicago until 1836. This treaty did not really prevent the settlement of the area by immigrants. Some of the earliest settlers were Samuel and Margaret Gillilan of West Virginia. In 1834, they took up land on the west side of the Fox River between Algonquin and Cary. Like several other northern Illinois counties, McHenry County looked to southern Illinois for its name. William McHenry of White County served as a state representative, as a major during the Black Hawk War of 1832, and then as a state senator. When he died in 1835, the Illinois State Legislature decided to honor him by naming a new county after him. McHenry County was established in 1836. It was initially comprised of present-day McHenry and Lake Counties. By 1839, the large population of the eastern portion of the area warranted separation into two
