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, where the land stretches wide under an expansive, pale sky. It lies 2.6 miles east-southeast of Lake Zurich, IL (from Lake Zurich, IL: bearing 118°T), and is situated 7.2 miles north-northwest of Arlington Heights. The terrain here holds the memory of ancient glacial shifts, characterized by subtle elevations and depressions that catch the soft, amber light of late afternoon. Buffalo Creek traces a deliberate path through the earth nearby, its presence a constant, rhythmic pulse beneath the suburban canopy. Those who walk the trails of Warwick Park, located only a mile away, find a stillness that feels removed from the urgent pace of the nearby metropolitan grid, as the wind carries the scent of dry grass and deep, dark soil across the open ground.
Hickory Hills evolved from the steady expansion of the regional economy, transforming from its early agrarian roots into a place where the architecture of mid-century growth remains visible in every neighborhood. The rhythm of daily life here is governed by the intersection of residential quietude and the industrious spirit that defines the surrounding region. Residents often look toward the horizon where the distant contour of Bald Knob suggests a world beyond the flat plains, while the proximity to Forest Lake provides a local destination for those seeking the reflection of clouds upon still water. This locality maintains a character rooted in the sturdy, brick-and-limestone traditions of the region, where the seasons mark the time more reliably than the clock, and the changing colors of the oaks serve as a silent barometer for the passing year.

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.
