1964 Map of Geneva

About this map

The Fox River valley serves as the central corridor for this mid-century survey, anchoring the growing communities of St Charles and Geneva. Purple-tinted urban extensions reflect the early 1970s residential expansion around established landmarks like Mount St Mary Academy and the Courthouse. The landscape is notably institutional, featuring the State Training Sch for Boys on the western edge and the State Training Sch for Girls to the south. Educational and religious sites are dense along the river bluffs, including St Dominic College and Sacred Heart Seminary. Industrial activity is represented by various Gravel Pits and the proximity of the Du Page County Airport on the eastern boundary. This era captures the transition of formerly agricultural lands into suburban tracts, such as Fox River Estates and Novak Park, while preserving significant green space at the Pratts Wayne Woods Forest Preserve.
