About this map

Palatine and its neighboring Cook County suburbs appear here in a highly developed 21st-century landscape, dominated by a dense grid of residential and commercial thoroughfares. The southern portion of the village transitions into the sprawling Hoffman Estates, while the western edge reaches the wooded borders of Inverness. This modern survey illustrates the significant preservation of community memory through numerous historic burial grounds, including the Hillside Cem, Union Cem, and the expansive Saint Michael the Archangel Catholic Cem and Mausoleum.

Institutional landmarks like Harper College serve as anchors in a region defined by its water management and recreation areas. These include Volkening Lake and the open expanses of Ned Brown Meadow, which provide a natural contrast to the suburban density. The map traces the intricate drainage of the W Br Salt Cr and Salt Cr, showing how these waterways have been integrated into the modern community layout alongside major arteries like Golf RD and Higgins RD.
