About this map

Arlington Heights and Mt Prospect define this dense suburban landscape in the mid-1990s, where residential growth is woven around an established industrial and institutional infrastructure. The Chicago and North Western corridor serves as the spine for these communities, linking them to nearby Chicago. The map reveals a high concentration of religious and educational landmarks, such as St Viator High Sch and the Carmelite Monastery, alongside significant green spaces like Busse Forest North.

The southern edge of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling northern infrastructure of the Chicago O'Hare International Airport, situated near the confluence of the Northwest Tollway and Tri-State Tollway. This intersection of heavy transport and quiet residential pockets, including family-named sites like Patton Sch and Miner Sch, illustrates the late-century evolution of the Illinois-Cook Co. suburbs into a complex metropolitan hub.
