About this map

Brant Lake and Lake Madison anchor the glacial landscape of the Coteau des Prairies in this Lake County survey. The settlement of Wentworth occupies the northern reaches of the quadrangle, where streets like S Main Ave and S Centennial Ave meet the rural section lines. Further south, the community of Chester sits near the headwaters of Skunk Cr, reflecting the region's agricultural and lakeside residential development.

Genealogists can trace family connections through several local burial grounds, including Rose Hill Cem near Wentworth, and Prospect Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem near Chester. The map provides a detailed view of the evolving shoreline communities, showing clusters of development at Smiths Park and along Round Lake Hills Dr. The drainage patterns of the prairie are well-defined, from the course of Bachelor Cr in the northeast to Buffalo Slough in the southwest.
