How to Use This Burlington, Illinois Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Burlington, Illinois. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Illinois or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Burlington.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Burlington, Illinois
Burlington is a locality in Kane County, Illinois, United States. It is a small community with a population of 535. The population density is 30.1 people per km². Burlington is located at 42.0529°N, 88.5689°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Burlington is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 60109, 60140.Burlington occupies a wide expanse of northern Illinois where the horizon stretches flat and heavy under an immense, pale sky. It lies 7.0 miles west of Pingree Grove, IL (from Pingree Grove, IL: bearing 261°T), and is situated 8.4 miles east-northeast of Sycamore. Beneath this dome, the land shifts in subtle, glacial swells, patterned by the precise geometry of soy and corn fields that drain toward the quiet meander of Coon Creek. Beyond the edge of the cultivated acreage, the Hampshire Forest Preserve offers a dense, tangled contrast to the open plains, while the small, reflective surface of Lake Campton sits nine miles away, holding the stillness of the afternoon. At the center of this rural grid, Burlington Park provides a modest clearing where the wind carries the faint, dry scent of disturbed earth and turning leaves.
Burlington emerged from the deep soil of the prairie, its identity forged by the labor of the midwestern seasons and the steady commerce of local agriculture. The village maintains a quiet, deliberate pace, where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the passage of machinery and the long shadows that stretch from the grain elevators toward the evening. While Johnsons Mound rises as a distant, singular point of interest on the horizon, the true character of Burlington resides in its enduring connection to the land and the simple, functional architecture of its streets. Here, the local economy remains tethered to the cycles of the harvest, and the quietude of the landscape suggests a place that measures time not by the clock, but by the slow, inevitable shift of the light across the fields.

About This Burlington Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Burlington, Illinois. Coordinates: 42.052859, -88.568931. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Burlington includes the ZIP code (60109, 60140), telephone area code (312, 773), county seat of Kane County (Geneva), and school district assignment (Central Community Unit School District 301).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
