2018 Map of Paddock Lake

About this map

Salem Lakes and Paddock Lake anchor this topographic view of eastern Kenosha County, where a high concentration of natural glacial lakes and engineered water management systems define the landscape. The region reflects a transitional character between agricultural roots and residential development, evidenced by the numerous small settlements like Salem Oaks, Salem, and Trevor. Water remains the central geographic feature, with the Des Plaines River and Dutch Gap Canal providing drainage across the eastern half of the sheet. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint several significant burial sites, including Liberty Cem, Paris Cem, and Union Cem, while aviation history is represented by small local airfields such as Binzel Airport and Bristol Airport. The transport network is heavily reliant on the county highway system, with Co HWY K and Co HWY V serving as primary east-west arteries connecting these lakeside communities.
