1954 Map of Channahon
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The confluence of the Du Page River and the Des Plaines River dominates this mid-century landscape, a vital corridor where water, rail, and road networks converge. Industrial and conservation land uses sit side-by-side, illustrated by the extensive Des Plaines Wildlife Conservation Area and numerous Gravel Pits that mark the terrain. The transport-heavy character of the region is evident in the dense concentration of railroads, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR, which navigate the river bluffs alongside the historic Michigan and Mississippi Canal.
