For the most part, the surrounding land is flat open fields, but here along a tributary of Big Rock Creek, that acted as a partial firebreak, grew a forest. The historic Lone Grove consisting of thick bark Bur Oaks and other prairie edge sentinel trees, were able to survive the onslaught of prairie fires that swept through most of the area. Consequently this attractive woodland largely remains as it was a thousand years ago. Part of the Forest Preserve District of Kane County.
