2012 Map of Elmhurst

About this map

O'Hare International Airport dominates the northeast quadrant of this DuPage and Cook County landscape, illustrating the intricate intersection of massive transportation infrastructure and established residential communities. The map highlights a high density of memorial sites and educational institutions, including Elmhurst College and McCormac Junior College. Local history is preserved in spaces like the Old Settlers Cem and Saint Johannes Cem, which sit alongside modern developments in Bensenville and Elmhurst. The hydrological network, defined by Salt Creek and the Bensenville Ditch, maneuvers through a grid of significant corridors like Grand Avenue and Pratt Blvd. This survey documents the mature suburban fabric where industrial zones near Wood Dale and Northlake meet the quiet boundaries of the Mount Emblem Cem and Fairview Memorial Cem.
