About this map

The Fox River corridor in the mid-1960s serves as the industrial and social spine of this Kane County region, anchoring the established centers of Batavia and Aurora. The landscape reflects a mix of civic institutions and specialized communities, most notably the sprawling Mooseheart campus and the Marmion Military Academy. Significant transportation infrastructure, including the Chicago Burlington And Quincy railroad and the East-West Tollway, illustrates the area's role as a major transit hub for both passengers and freight. Along the riverbanks, recreational and memorial sites like the Fabyan Forest Preserve and River Hills Memorial Park provide green space between the dense urban grids. Further west, the presence of the Aurora Airways Airport and the Aurora Downs racetrack highlights the diverse land use during this period of suburban expansion.
