1964 Map of Geneva
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Fox River carves a central path through this survey, anchoring the development of St Charles and Geneva as they appeared before the peak of suburban expansion. The riverbank is densely populated with community landmarks, from religious institutions like Sacred Heart Seminary and Mount St Mary Academy to recreational spaces like Five Islands Park. The 1980 photorevisions, marked in purple, highlight significant growth in residential areas such as Fox River Estates and Rainbow Hills. This document captures the transition of the Fox Valley from a series of distinct river towns into a more continuous corridor of industry and housing, while still preserving large green belts like Pratts Wayne Woods Forest Preserve. Transportation remains tied to the Chicago and North Western rail lines that once fueled the growth of the grain and gravel industries.
