About this map

Illinois Beach State Park dominates the shoreline of Lake Michigan in this 1993 study, protecting a landscape of dunes and waterways like the Dead River and Dead Lake. The corridor between Winthrop Harbor and Zion is densely developed with civic and religious institutions, including Christian Ch and the Zion-Benton Twp High Sch. Transport infrastructure is prominent, from the Chicago and North Western rail line serving the Winthrop Harbor Station to the Waukegan Regional Airport in the south.

Residential growth is evident in settlements like Pleasant Prairie across the Wisconsin Illinois state line. The map identifies numerous neighborhood landmarks such as Beulah Park Sch and Mount Olivet Memorial Park Cem. Farther south, the industrial character of Waukegan appears near the Victory Memorial Hospital and various large-scale tailings ponds, reflecting the area's complex balance of conservation and industry.
