1927 Map of Arlington Heights
USGS Topo · Published 1927About this map
Arlington Heights and Mt Prospect appear as compact railroad-oriented settlements in the mid-1920s, dominated by the diagonal paths of the Chicago and Northwestern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads. The landscape retains a predominantly rural character, particularly across the flats of Elk Grove and Wheeling, where small country schools like Wilson School and Boxelder School served a dispersed farming population. Near the Des Plaines River, institutional landmarks such as St Marys Training School and several cemeteries, including All Saints Cemetery and the English Cemetery, signify the area's development as a suburban periphery for Chicago.
