Fox River and a dense network of glacial lakes dominate this landscape in northeastern Illinois during the early 1920s. The region is a complex web of water and transport, where the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul and Chicago and North Western railroads connect established lakeside settlements like Antioch, Fox Lake, and Grays Lake. The map reveals a high density of rural schoolhouses, such as English Prairie School and Gavin School, which served the farming communities between the prominent vacation waters of Lake Marie and Grass Lake.
