1993 Map of Elmhurst
USGS Topo · Published 1993About this map
Chicago O'Hare International Airport dominates the northeast landscape of this 1993 revision, showcasing the intricate network of radio facilities, towers, and the distinctive Lake O'Hare. The map captures the dense suburban expansion of eastern DuPage County and western Cook County, where residential blocks and industrial zones press against the winding corridor of Salt Creek. This riparian spine is protected by a series of contiguous preserves, including the Salt Creek Co Forest Preserve and Oak Meadows Co Forest Preserve. Centered on the educational hub of Elmhurst College, the area reveals a deeply established social fabric of parochial schools like St Marys Sch and large memorial grounds such as Mount Emblem Cemetery. The transit-oriented development is evident along the Chicago and North Western rail lines, which historically shaped the growth of communities like Villa Park and Bensenville.
