The [[Des Plaines River]] meanders through the village, dividing the town in half vertically at the village hall, while Half Day Road ([[Illinois Route 22]]) splits the village in half in an east–west direction. [[Milwaukee Avenue (Chicago)|Milwaukee Avenue]] ([[U.S. Route 45]]) runs in a north–south direction through Lincolnshire, into the village of [[Buffalo Grove, Illinois|Buffalo Grove]] to the south and [[Vernon Hills, Illinois|Vernon Hills]] to the north.<ref name=mappymap>{{cite web |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADBF_enUS229US230&q=Lincolnshire+IL+map&um=1&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&resnum=1&ct=title| title=Map of Lincolnshire, Illinois| access-date=August 18, 2008 |work=Google Maps| year=2008}}</ref> Lincolnshire has been a [[Arbor Day Foundation|Tree City USA]] every year since 1988.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.arborday.org/programs/treeCityUSA/TreeCities.cfm?chosenState=Illinois&orderBy=Years| title=Tree Cities in Illinois |access-date=August 31, 2008 | publisher=Arbor Day Foundation |year=2008}}</ref> To maintain Lincolnshire's foliage, the village passed the "Tree Preservation Ordinance", a law that places tight restrictions on tree removal.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.village.lincolnshire.il.us/services/forestry/ordinance.php| title=Tree Preservation Ordinance| access-date=August 18, 2008 |work=Lincolnshire Forestry Services| publisher=Village of Lincolnshire| year=2008 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080620225006/http://www.village.lincolnshire.il.us/services/forestry/ordinance.php |archive-date = June 20, 2008}}</ref> Lincolnshire lies on the border of two Chicago-area [[drainage basin|watersheds]]: one pertaining to the [[Des Plaines River]], and the other involving the nearby north fork of the [[Chicago River]]. This situation directly relates to the presence of the Des Plaines River in the village.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.lakecountyil.gov/Stormwater/PublishingImages/watershed8x11_resize.jpg| title=Subwatershed Map of Lake County| access-date=September 11, 2008| work=Stormwater Management Commission| publisher=County of Lake, Illinois| year=2004| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527233705/http://www.lakecountyil.gov/Stormwater/PublishingImages/watershed8x11_resize.jpg| archive-date=May 27, 2010}}</ref> ===Climate=== Due to its proximity to the city, Lincolnshire's climate shares many of the same traits as Chicago.
