1953 Map of Evanston
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The North Shore communities of Cook County are shown here in a period of established suburban growth along the Lake Michigan coastline. The urban layout is defined by the proximity of the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee RR and the Chicago and North Western Ry, which facilitated the development of residential areas like Kenilworth, Wilmette, and Winnetka. Educational and institutional landmarks anchor these neighborhoods, including the prominent lakeside campus of Northwestern University and Loyola University further south.
