1954 Map of Aurora South

About this map

The Fox River corridor serves as the primary artery of development in this mid-century survey, anchoring the industrial and residential growth of Aurora and Montgomery. While the northern portion of the map is defined by the dense urban fabric of the South Park neighborhood and landmark institutions like Copley Hospital, the landscape quickly transitions into the agricultural expanse of Oswego and Na-Au-Say. This transition is marked by a series of established burial grounds, including Spring Lake Cem and Riverside Cem, which border the river's winding path south toward the village of Oswego.
