2018 Map of Antioch

About this map

Antioch and its surrounding glacial lake landscape dominate this study of the Illinois-Wisconsin borderlands. The geography is defined by a dense network of water bodies, from Lake Marie and Petite Lake in the west to the cluster of Deep Lake, Cedar Lake, and Sand Lake further south. These lakes, punctuated by features like Cedar Island, have long shaped the residential patterns of communities such as Lake Villa and Lindenhurst. The map traces the early 21st-century suburban footprint, yet maintains records of the area's older foundations through numerous local burial grounds including Hillside Cem, Hickory Union Cem, and Angolian Cem. Transportation and utility infrastructure is represented by the Donald Alfred Gade Airport and the managed waters of the Dutch Gap Canal, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the growing centers of Round Lake Beach and Grayslake.
