Burritt Township sits in the far northwest corner of Winnebago County, along the Wisconsin state line west of Rockton and Shirland Township. It's rural: an estimated 960 residents and 359 housing units spread across 32.7 square miles, a density of under 30 people per square mile.
The ground under Burritt Township
North-central Illinois, where Winnebago County sits, is built on Ordovician and Silurian dolomite and limestone, covered by glacial till and outwash from the last Ice Age. That bedrock and cover combination is why the EPA rates the whole county Radon Zone 1, its highest-potential classification, with predicted average indoor screening levels at or above 4.0 pCi/L.
