2015 Map of Wadsworth

About this map

The Des Plaines River corridor anchors this modern survey of northern Lake County, Illinois, where the suburban reaches of Waukegan and Gurnee meet a landscape of glacial lakes and historic road intersections. The map captures a transitional zone defined by large-scale transportation and utility, featuring the Waukegan Regional Airport and the smaller Herbert C. Maas Airport. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the names of long-standing family corners and community hubs, including Rosecrans, Slocum Corners, and Eddy. Conservation and recreation areas are evident through prominent water bodies such as Sterling Lake and Grandwood Lake, while the distribution of several cemeteries like Warren Cem and Saint Patricks Cem provides clear markers for tracing family heritage within the developing residential fabric of Beach Park and Wadsworth.
