Chicago is located in northern Illinois at the southwestern tip of Lake Michigan. Chicago's present natural geography emerged from large glaciers of the Ice Age (Wisconsinan Glaciation) which carved out the modern basin of Lake Michigan. Chicago sits on the Chicago Plain, a flat plain that was once the bottom of ancestral Lake Chicago. This plain has very little topographic relief.
