USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The confluence of the Du Page River and Des Plaines River dominates this mid-century landscape, a vital corridor of industrial transit and conservation efforts in Will County. This survey documents a critical period of water management, showing the Michigan and Mississippi Canal alongside the massive Des Plaines Wildlife Conservation Area. The intersection of heavy rail lines, including the Elgin Joliet and Eastern Ry and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR, highlights the region's role as a transportation hub for the Joliet area.
