Explore Hickory Hills, Illinois, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hickory 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 Hickory 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.

Hickory Hills occupies a stretch of the Midwestern interior where the land flattens into a persistent, productive horizon. It lies 10.0 miles east of East Moline, IL (from East Moline, IL: bearing 94°T), and is situated 8.6 miles east of Silvis. The atmosphere here carries the weight of the vast, inland plains, where the light at dusk turns a bruised, singular violet as it catches the low-hanging clouds. A mile away, the quiet presence of Rustic Acres Lake offers a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic transit of the nearby Green River. Beyond the immediate canopy of local woodlands, the topography remains subtle, though one might catch the distant silhouette of Indian Hill rising against the sky like a dormant sentinel. The Hennepin Canal remains a defining thread in this landscape, grounding the geography in a history of deliberate, human-wrought alteration of the earth.
Hickory Hills emerged as a suburban expansion of the regional grid, evolving from a quieter, rural tract into a place defined by the steady pulse of residential life and local commerce. The economy reflects the pragmatic character of the region, where the influence of the nearby metropolitan center dictates the flow of commuters and the gradual integration of modern logistics. There is a particular texture to the afternoons here, defined by the sound of tires against asphalt and the persistent, low-frequency hum of industry that anchors the periphery. The heritage of Hickory Hills is written in its modest architecture and the utilitarian layout of its streets, which prioritize function and the steady continuity of daily routines. Life here moves with a measured cadence, shaped by the changing seasons and the quiet persistence of those who call these inland reaches home.

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.
