The Des Plaines River corridor defines this portion of Lake County, Illinois, as it appeared before the surge of late-twentieth-century suburbanization. The map documents a landscape transitioning from rural institutional uses to a dense commuter network, anchored by the substantial grounds of St Marys of the Lake Seminary and the St Sava Monastery. To the east, the Great Lakes Naval Training Center signals the significant military presence near North Chicago, while the Tri-State Tollway and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad lines provide the structural backbone for the growing communities of Libertyville, Mundelein, and Gurnee.
