The U.S. Geological Survey records Great Lakes as a populated place. Its GNIS reference point is listed under the county label Lake County, Illinois, on the Waukegan map. This identifies a geographic reference point, not the full community boundary, current administrative boundaries, or its legal incorporation status. Use the locality and county references below when checking an address or distinguishing similarly named places.
Nearby places are within 15 miles straight-line, not driving distances. They retain their own locality ownership and are not claimed to be inside this community.

USGS GNIS lists the reference point for Great Lakes under the county label Lake County. A reference point is not a municipal boundary or proof of current administrative boundaries; consult the linked locality and county sources for the geographic identity.
These are nearby directory records, not businesses claimed to be inside Great Lakes: Building 154 (North Chicago, 0.3 miles straight-line); Tokyo at Siam IL (North Chicago, 0.6 miles straight-line); Arby's (North Chicago, 0.7 miles straight-line). Distances are measured straight-line from the locality reference point, not by road. Each listing retains its true locality.
