2024 Map of Arlington Heights

About this map

Chicago O'Hare International Airport and Chicago Executive Airport anchor the transportation landscape of this densely developed corridor in northwest Cook County. The urban fabric is defined by a heavy grid of major thoroughfares such as W Rand Rd and Palatine Rd, while the Metra rail line provides a critical transit link through the heart of Arlington Heights. This modern record reveals a sophisticated network of suburban centers including Mount Prospect, Wheeling, and Des Plaines. Despite the extensive infrastructure, significant green spaces and water bodies persist, notably Big Bend Lake and the winding course of the Des Plaines River. For those tracing local history or genealogy, the map identifies numerous significant burial grounds such as Memory Gardens Cem and All Saints Catholic Cem and Mausoleum, alongside educational institutions like Christian Life College.
