About this map

Antioch sits as a central hub in a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and modern residential growth. This 2023 survey illustrates the dense suburban character of northern Illinois, where settlements like Lindenhurst, Lake Villa, and Round Lake Beach are inextricably linked by a complex hydrography. Water bodies such as Deep Lake, Silver Lake, and Loon Lake serve as the primary geographical anchors, many of which are bordered by established neighborhoods and local landmarks like the Donald Alfred Gade Airport.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant value in the preservation of numerous burial grounds across the quadrangle, including Hillside Cem, Sand Lake Cem, and Hickory Union Cem. The transition from rural to developed land is evident in the layout of roads like State Line Rd and Grand Ave, which navigate around natural features like Cedar Island and man-made structures like the Dutch Gap Canal. This map captures a contemporary look at the enduring relationship between the region's water-rich terrain and its suburban expansion.
