How to Use This Round Lake Heights, Illinois Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Round Lake Heights, 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 Round Lake Heights.
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.

ZIP code: 60073.Round Lake Heights emerges from the flat, industrious stretches of the northern plains where the sky claims a vast and heavy portion of the horizon. It lies 1.9 miles north of Bloomingdale, IL (from Bloomingdale, IL: bearing 2°T), and is situated 3.4 miles south of Schaumburg. The earth here holds a quiet moisture, caught between the nearby waters of Eagle Creek and the expansive, still surface of Long Lake. Arrowhead Park provides a modest communal anchor, a patch of green space where the light at dusk settles in long, bruised purples across the grass. Though the terrain remains largely level, the air carries a crisp, lingering chill that hints at the distant, jagged silhouette of Rogers Ridge, an invisible sentinel thirty-four miles to the west. On quieter mornings, the atmosphere feels dense with the promise of the changing seasons, a subtle pressure that moves through the sparse trees and settles into the foundations of every house.
Round Lake Heights grew as an extension of the broader suburban expansion, a place defined by the steady, measured hum of regional commerce and the daily commute toward the gravitational pull of the city. While the local economy mirrors the pragmatic, blue-collar roots of the wider prairie, the land itself bears the marks of a glacial inheritance that leaves the soil rich and deep. Residents often look toward the maritime influence of the nearby Stanton Bay, where the rhythm of the wind suggests a proximity to the great inland seas, even as they navigate the local paths like the Tamarack View Trail. Beyond the immediate grid, the presence of Cedar Island remains a persistent point of local geography, grounding the identity of Round Lake Heights in a landscape that values the quiet utility of its waterways and the enduring, unadorned character of its people.

About This Round Lake Heights Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Round Lake Heights, Illinois. Coordinates: 42.380021, -88.104249. 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 Round Lake Heights includes the ZIP code (60073), telephone area code (312, 773), county seat of Lake County (Waukegan), and school district assignment (Grant Community High School District 124).
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.
