1960 Map of Aberdeen West

About this map

The western edges of Aberdeen reveal a landscape shaped by mid-century transit and civic growth at the dawn of the 1960s. This survey, compiled in part from 1958 aerial photography, details the intersection of major rail lines including the Chicago and North Western and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific. The industrial and social character of the era is evidenced by features such as the Drive-in Theater and the expansive Riverside Cemetery near Foot Creek.
