About this map

Lake Zurich sits at the heart of this suburban landscape, surrounded by a dense network of residential developments and municipal boundaries including Hawthorn Woods, Kildeer, and Deer Park. The 2021 data reflects a region defined by its glacial lakes, where smaller bodies of water like Sylvan Lake, Forest Lake, and Diamond Lake provide the geographic anchors for local neighborhoods. The map illustrates the contemporary expansion of the northwest Chicago suburbs, where historic crossroads like Quentin Corners and Staples Corner have been integrated into a complex grid of state routes and arterial roads.

Genealogists and local historians can trace several significant burial sites throughout the area, from the small Fairfield Cemetery to the expansive Shalom Memorial Park. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the green space of Deer Grove, marking a transition toward the larger incorporated areas of Palatine and Arlington Heights. This survey provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure and drainage patterns of Buffalo Creek and Indian Creek as they navigate the built environment.
