2013 Map of Paddock Lake

About this map

The Des Plaines River and Brighton Cr thread through this portion of Kenosha County, defining a landscape marked by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and small airfields. This 2013 survey illustrates the residential growth surrounding Paddock Lake and Lake Shangrila, while traditional crossroads like Salem and Bristol anchor the local road network. To the north, the Union League Boys Camp sits near League Lake, while the agricultural character of the region is evident in the presence of private flight strips such as Chilcott Farms Airport and Bristol Airport. The eastern edge is touched by the Root River, contrasting with the western reach where Trevor and Liberty Corners mark the transitions between wetlands and prairie. The map provides a look at the modern balance between recreational lake living and the infrastructure of a rural-suburban corridor.
