2013 Map of Lowell

About this map

Lowell and its surrounding agricultural and residential landscapes define this portion of southern Lake County in the early twenty-first century. The map illustrates a high-density suburban and small-town pattern, particularly concentrated around Cedar Lake in the north and the village-like character of Creston. The drainage of the land is carefully managed through an extensive network of man-made waterways like McConnel Ditch and Foss Ditch, which support both the residential developments and the surviving open fields.
