1993 Map of Antioch

About this map

Glacial lakes and modern suburban development converge at the Wisconsin border, where Antioch and Lake Villa serve as central hubs for this watery landscape. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with large bodies like Loon Lake, Cedar Lake, and Lake Marie interspersed with specialized institutions such as St Benedicts Abbey and the Childrens Home. The Soo Line railroad provides a clear industrial corridor through the western portion of the map, linking established settlements like Lindenhurst to the broader regional network. Locally significant landmarks, including the Gade Landing Strip and numerous specialized schools like the Allendale Farm Sch, indicate a diverse land use pattern that balances residential expansion with rural preserves and lakeside recreation. This 1990s landscape reveals the transition from a seasonal resort area to a year-round suburban community while maintaining large swaths of the County Forest Preserve.
