About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern edge of this coastal survey, where the Illinois shoreline meets the State Line. The grid of Zion and Winthrop Harbor reflects a densely developed corridor between the water and the Waukegan Regional Airport. Along the lakefront, the landscape transitions from the modern facilities at North Point Marina to the protected natural areas around Kellogg Ravine and Sand Pond.

Historically significant sites are found throughout the residential blocks, including the sprawling Mount Oliver Memorial Park and the smaller Lake Mound Cem. The infrastructure of the era is marked by the Winthrop Harbor Station and Beach Station, serving communities like Bancroft Corners. Further south, the course of the Dead River flows through the preserve toward Farnum Point, illustrating the surviving wetlands adjacent to Dunes Park.
