How to Use This Holiday Shores, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Holiday Shores, 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 Holiday Shores.

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.

Holiday Shores occupies a quiet expanse of the Illinois interior where the land flattens into a vast, deliberate prairie. It lies 7.7 miles north of Edwardsville, IL (from Edwardsville, IL: bearing 5°T), and is situated 9.4 miles east-northeast of Wood River. Joulters Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the local terrain, its waters feeding into the still surface of Holiday Lake, which anchors the geography of the vicinity. To the west, the distant profile of Neudeckers Mountain rises as a faint, jagged suggestion against the sky, while the immediate surroundings remain dominated by the open, terrestrial rhythm of the plains. Within the boundaries of Holishor Park, the light at dusk takes on a heavy, amber quality, casting long shadows across the grasses that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped below the horizon.

Holiday Shores functions as an intentional landscape where the legacy of regional development manifests in the careful arrangement of residential plots and communal spaces. The local economy persists in the quiet industry of the Midwest, drawing its character from the cycles of the nearby fields and the maintenance of the waterways that define the property lines. Residents of Holiday Shores move through their days with a steady, pragmatic grace, familiar with the specific texture of the soil and the way the wind moves across the open ground. While the pace of life remains measured, the presence of Holishor Park provides a necessary gravity, ensuring that the intersection of human settlement and the natural topography remains a central, enduring feature of the daily experience.

About This Holiday Shores Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Holiday Shores, Illinois. Coordinates: 38.921991, -89.940657. 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 Holiday Shores includes the ZIP code (62025), telephone area code (309), county seat of Madison County (Edwardsville), and school district assignment (Edwardsville Community Unit School District 7).

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.
