Monks Trails should be pretty accurate, though the river needs to be repositioned

3657392 Mecheye

There seems to be another feature here that should be recorded. Can someone get a photo of it?

Is this trail done? The 2022 trail map indicates it may continue but this is as far as the trail goes based on what I can see for now

There is a Weathertop trail listed on Trail Forks, however I can't find an official map that has it listed. If someone can get an official route for it please post it here

Also, we may need a GPS trace for it.

The Lake Fanny Hooe trail contuses to the east of here, but I can't see it well enough on the imagery to trace it. We will need a GPS trace of it

The GPS trances in this area are kind of messed up. Can someone align this part of the road? I can't verify if this is right

Long-term mobile homes. Last checked 23-04-16. See if they are still there next time the imagery updates

3655434 Mecheye

There is a memorial site here that doesn't seem to have any presence online yet. Can someone grab a photo?

Weiland Road does not exist in this form, and never has according to aerial imagery from as far back as the 1930's.

Instead, the road indicated as "Aptakisic Road" 10 feet to the north of this one on Google Maps is the road that has actually existed. The name Weiland Road seems to remain
the correct name for it, however.

This is a rather confounding mystery. The official Cook County website lists both Weiland Road (As shown here, designated as County Route W17) as well as the false Aptakisic Road (Designated County route A70)

Only one of those roads exist. Only one of those roads have EVER existed. Why are both shown on Google Maps as well as Cook Counties official County Route jurisdiction map? Weiland Road as shown here and on Google Maps both possess high-speed turnoffs for northbound traffic on Buffalo Grove Road.

Its quite puzzling.

Based on the one rough map I saw of the Upson Lake trail online, this trail may be a loop. Can someone in the area confirm?
