How to Use This Lynwood, Illinois Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lynwood, 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 Lynwood.
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 Lynwood, Illinois
Lynwood is a locality in Kendall County, Illinois, United States. It has a population of approximately 9,116. The population density is 709.0 people per km². Lynwood is located at 41.5226°N, 87.5505°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Lynwood is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 60543, 60411.Lynwood stretches across a flat, expansive horizon where the heavy Midwestern sky dictates the mood of the day. It lies 2.2 miles west of Oswego, IL (from Oswego, IL: bearing 272°T), and is situated 6.5 miles southwest of Aurora. The land here remains stubbornly level, a remnant of ancient glacial retreat that left behind a fertile, dark loam now broken only by the deliberate geometry of suburban development and light industrial sprawl. Within the immediate boundaries of the landscape, Stepping Stones Park provides a quiet anchor, its grounds offering a brief stillness amidst the steady hum of regional transit corridors. At the edge of the horizon, the earth seems to exhale as the sun dips low, casting long, bruised shadows that emphasize the vastness of the prairie-born plains.
Lynwood maintains a character defined by the practical rhythms of commerce and the steady pulse of a working population. This locality sits just a mile from the Fox River, a waterway that serves as a quiet reminder of the natural drainage shaping the regional topography. While the industrial legacy of the surrounding corridor informs the local economy, the pace of life remains tethered to the seasonal shifts of the interior climate, moving from the biting, gray stillness of winter to the humid, golden intensity of harvest time. Residents look toward the distant, rolling features of Waubonsie Hill or the dense greenery of Sugar Grove Forest Preserve, yet the identity of Lynwood stays grounded in its own pragmatic, brick-and-mortar foundation.

About This Lynwood Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lynwood, Illinois. Coordinates: 41.522565, -87.550491. 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 Lynwood includes the ZIP code (60543, 60411), telephone area code (708), county seat of Kendall County (Yorkville), and school district assignment (Bloom Township High School District 206).
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.
