Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, where the deep waters of the Great Lakes meet the suburban North Shore of Chicago. The southwestern corner of the sheet provides a localized view of the shoreline transition from Glencoe into Winnetka, capturing the residential street grid at the edge of the bluffs. Significant local thoroughfares like Sheridan Rd and Harbor St are visible as they approach the lakefront. The map also delineates the precise political boundary between Lake Co and Cook Co as it extends from the land out across the open water, illustrating the offshore jurisdiction of these two prominent Illinois counties.
