How to Use This Sleepy Hollow, Illinois Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sleepy Hollow, 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 Sleepy Hollow.
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 Sleepy Hollow, Illinois
Sleepy Hollow is a locality in Cook County, Illinois, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,214. The population density is 614.6 people per km². Sleepy Hollow is located at 42.0903°N, 88.3137°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Sleepy Hollow is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 60632, 62959, 60118.Sleepy Hollow emerges from the flat, industrious horizon of the plains, defined by the persistent, dark ribbon of the South Branch Chicago River that carves a deliberate path through the earth. It lies 2.3 miles south-southeast of Cicero, IL (from Cicero, IL: bearing 163°T), and is situated 5.3 miles west-southwest of Chicago. The air here holds a heavy, damp quality, perpetually informed by the proximity of the Cortez Basin just four miles to the east, where the salt-tinged breeze softens the sharp edges of the Midwestern chill. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of Blue Island Ridge anchors the skyline, while the immediate landscape remains low and utilitarian, punctuated by the modest greenery of Le Claire Courts - Hearst Comm. Ctr. Light lingers long over the damp soil, casting a bruised, violet hue that turns the river’s surface into a sheet of hammered lead by dusk.
Sleepy Hollow carries the weight of a working history, its economy tethered to the movement of goods and the quiet, persistent labor of those who maintain the transit lines and regional supply chains. While the nearby expanse of Lake Ida offers a reprieve of still, freshwater silence, the daily life of Sleepy Hollow remains focused on the rhythmic, mechanical pulse of the river corridor and the sprawling, utilitarian tracts that define its borders. Beyond the immediate development, the Plank Road Meadow provides a rare, open relief of tall grasses that sway in the coastal currents, a reminder of the prairie that once dominated the interior. It is a place where the grandeur of the landscape is not found in dramatic peaks, but in the enduring, stubborn character of the land as it holds its own against the encroachment of the surrounding grid.

About This Sleepy Hollow Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sleepy Hollow, Illinois. Coordinates: 42.090287, -88.313712. 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 Sleepy Hollow includes the ZIP code (60632, 62959, 60118), telephone area code (618, 312, 773), county seat of Cook County (Chicago), and school district assignment (Community Unit School District 300).
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.
