2018 Map of Berwyn

About this map

Chicago Midway International Airport dominates the southeastern corner of this Cook County survey, anchoring a dense industrial and residential landscape shaped by the Des Plaines River. The region is defined by a deep concentration of historic burial grounds in the north, including the Forest Home Cem, Waldheim Cem, and Woodlawn Cem, reflecting the area's long-established communal and cultural history. Moving south, the terrain transitions into the Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor, where the historic canal legacy meets modern infrastructure. The map reveals a complex web of medical and educational institutions such as the Stritch School of Medicine and Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing in Maywood, alongside extensive industrial zones in McCook and Hodgkins. Open spaces like Miller Meadow and Plank Road Meadow provide significant green breaks within the suburban grid of Berwyn and Cicero.
