2024 Map of Steger

About this map

Steger and University Park anchor this landscape along the border of Cook and Will Counties, where suburban density transitions into the agricultural reaches of southern Illinois. The area is notable for its concentration of established burial grounds, including the New German Evangelical Zion Cem and Saint Pauls Evangelical Reform Cem, which reflect the region's deep-rooted denominational heritage. The campus of Governors State University occupies a central position, bounded by the headwaters of Thorn Creek and Deer Creek. Further south, the map reveals a more open rural character near Goodenow, defined by the drainage of Black Walnut Creek and the presence of Bult Field. This document provides a detailed view of the transportation corridors and community infrastructure connecting Richton Park, Monee, and Crete during the early 2020s.
