About this map

Crown Point sits at the northern edge of this Lake County landscape, where the residential expansion of the city meets an extensive network of managed watercourses and rural settlements. Small communities like Leroy, Southeast Grove, and Orchard Grove mark the transition from suburban outskirts into the agricultural heart of the region. The map reveals a highly engineered hydrological system designed for prairie drainage, dominated by features such as Singleton Ditch, Griesel Ditch, and Ebert Ditch, which channel water across the flat terrain toward the southern reaches of the quadrangle.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Plum Grove Cem and Orchard Grove Cem, providing clear points of reference for genealogical research. The intersection of older rural routes like Belshaw Rd and Stone Rd with modern thoroughfares highlights the evolution of transit in the area. From the northern headwaters of Stony Run to the southern hamlets of Dinwiddie and Range Line, the sheet illustrates a landscape defined by its agricultural heritage and modern development.
