2000 Map of Highland Park

About this map

The North Shore communities of Lake Forest and Highland Park dominate this survey, highlighting the area's transition from historic military and institutional grounds to a dense suburban corridor at the close of the twentieth century. Fort Sheridan stands as a prominent landmark along the Lake Michigan shoreline, situated near the established campus of Lake Forest College. The landscape is defined by the parallel courses of the Skokie River and the branches of the Chicago River, with the Chicago and North Western railway and Edens Expressway providing the primary transit arteries for towns like Highwood and Deerfield.
