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 landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the Midwestern prairie and the subtle shifts of an inland terrain. It lies 1.5 miles south-southeast of Justice, IL (from Justice, IL: bearing 153°T), and is situated 9.1 miles south-southwest of Cicero. The horizon here feels expansive, marked by the distant silhouette of the Blue Island Ridge that catches the amber light during the late afternoon. Residents find solace in the proximity of Hidden Pond Slough, where the water mirrors the shifting moods of the sky throughout the changing seasons. The gentle flow of Crooked Creek carves a path through the nearby earth, providing a steady, rhythmic presence amidst the suburban sprawl. Whether walking through the grounds of Cynthia Neal Center Kasey Meadow Park or observing the light as it catches the reeds, Hickory Hills maintains a connection to the natural world that remains largely undisturbed.
Growth in Hickory Hills emerged from the steady expansion of the regional grid, evolving from quiet acreage into a place where families established roots in the mid-twentieth century. The local economy relies on a blend of service-oriented industries and small-scale commerce that sustains the daily needs of those who call the area home. While the nearby Calumet Sag Channel once served as a vital artery for industrial transport, the region now favors a quieter pace of professional life and local enterprise. The proximity of Sundown Meadows reminds visitors of the agricultural heritage that once dominated this slice of the prairie, back when the land was defined more by soil than by pavement. Hickory Hills continues to adapt to the currents of the modern market while honoring the modest, industrious spirit that fueled its initial development.
Cultural life in Hickory Hills centers on the shared experiences of neighbors and the quiet traditions that define the rhythm of the year. The community gathers for local events that emphasize a neighborly connection, often anchored by the public spaces found at the Cynthia Neal Center Kasey Meadow Park. While the area is not defined by the presence of global icons, it benefits from the proximity of the Illinois and Michigan Canal State Trail, which invites residents to trace the history of the region’s development. The character of the people is reflected in the brick-and-limestone architecture that anchors the neighborhood, suggesting a permanence that resists fleeting trends. Hickory Hills remains a place where the daily pulse is felt in the simple act of a morning commute or a late-day walk, grounded in the steady reality of the Midwestern landscape.

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.
