The Des Plaines River corridor anchors this landscape on the Illinois-Wisconsin border, where the Des Plaines River Forest Preserve provides a significant greenbelt through Lake County. This early 1990s record documents the suburban evolution of Gurnee and Waukegan, showing the intricate boundaries of the Waukegan Corp Bdy as it expanded toward the Tri-State Tollway. Away from the main transit corridors, smaller settlements like Wadsworth and Old Mill Creek maintain their identity alongside older rural landmarks such as St Patricks Cem and Mount Rest Cem.
