About the map

Our Illinois State Map shows major landmarks and populated places. You’ll find national forests, military bases, wildlife refuges, and other federal lands.

Illinois Map Extent

Some of Illinois’ biggest highlights include the Shawnee National Forest, which spans an area of 1,000+ km². Also, Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge mostly consists of wetlands. This refuge is located in the middle of the Mississippi Flyway along the Illinois River.

Also, Illinois is home to the US Department of Energy’s Fermilab, which is a particle acceleration laboratory just outside of the city of Chicago. Illinois contains the Argonne National Laboratory, a world-class research facility. Both have tours available around the laboratories.
