1953 Map of Blue Island
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Blue Island serves as a major industrial and transit hub in the early 1950s, defined by the convergence of the Rock Island RR, Pennsylvania RR, and Grand Trunk Western RR. The landscape is a dense mixture of burgeoning suburban residential tracts and massive institutional footprints, particularly the numerous large cemeteries like St Casimirs Cemetery and Mt Olivet Cemetery that separate Mount Greenwood from Blue Island.
