1960 Map of Antioch

About this map

Glacial lakes and suburban expansion define this Lake County landscape at the start of the 1960s. The Soo Line corridor anchors the principal settlements, connecting Antioch in the north to the growing community of Lake Villa and the residential clusters at Round Lake Beach. The map documents a period of transition as traditional agricultural land begins to yield to planned developments like Lindenhurst and Venetian Village, which are situated among a dense network of water bodies including Sand Lake, Cedar Lake, and Fourth Lake.
