How to Use This Fox Lake Hills, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Fox Lake Hills, 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 Fox Lake Hills.

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 Fox Lake Hills, Illinois

Fox Lake Hills is a locality in Lake County, Illinois, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,684. The population density is 817.3 people per km². Fox Lake Hills is located at 42.4081°N, 88.1317°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 60046.

Fox Lake Hills occupies a landscape defined by the deliberate, quiet pressure of glacial history, where the terrain rises and falls in modest swells across the northern Illinois plains. It lies 2.8 miles east-northeast of Fox Lake, IL (from Fox Lake, IL: bearing 73°T), and is situated 3.3 miles northwest of Round Lake Beach. Nippersink Lake acts as the primary anchor for the local geography, its waters reflecting the heavy, bruised clouds of an approaching Midwestern storm with a clarity that renders the surrounding oaks and maples into sharp, dark silhouettes. A short distance away, the slow, persistent movement of Trevor Creek carves a thin, muddy artery through the low-lying brush, while the distant, rounded silhouette of Bald Knob sits on the horizon like a geological afterthought. The air here carries a distinct, sharp weight, smelling of damp earth and cooling asphalt, a sensory reminder that the vast, open fields of the interior are never far from the residential quiet of the streets.

Fox Lake Hills emerged as a consequence of the post-war desire for modest, private space, evolving from the fragmented plots of the early twentieth century into a residential expanse that prioritizes domestic seclusion over urban density. The local economy remains tethered to the broader regional networks of Chicago, though the daily rhythm is dictated more by the maintenance of lawn and porch than by the frenetic pace of the distant metropolis. Residents often find their recreation within the modest boundaries of Caboose Park, a space that serves as a communal pause in the otherwise steady, predictable flow of suburban life. Those seeking a deeper engagement with the local topography often traverse the Tamarack View Trail, which provides a vantage point for observing how the land transitions from suburban development toward the more preserved, wilder character of the Wadsworth Savanna Forest Preserve.
