About the map
This Illinois State Map shows major landmarks and populated places. For example, it includes national forests, military bases, wildlife refuges, and other federal lands in Illinois.
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 and 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. Otherwise, the state of Illinois contains the Argonne National Laboratory, which is a world-class research facility situated in Argonne, Illinois. Both have tours available around the laboratories.
