1920 Map of Grays Lake

About this map

The Fox River and its intricate network of interconnected glacial lakes dominate this corner of Illinois and Wisconsin shortly after the First World War. This landscape is defined by the proximity of the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul railroad, which facilitated the growth of lakeside communities like Antioch, Lake Villa, and Grays Lake. The map reveals a high density of one-room schoolhouses, such as the English Prairie School and Glynch School, suggesting a period of thriving rural educational districts before the consolidation of the mid-20th century.
