1964 Map of Geneva
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The Fox River corridor serves as the central spine of this mid-century survey, anchoring the industrial and institutional growth of St Charles and Geneva. The map reveals a landscape defined by significant state and religious institutions, including the State Training Sch for Boys, the State Training Sch for Girls, and several theological centers such as Sacred Heart Seminary and St Joseph Seminary. The expansion of the Chicago suburbs is evident through the purple-tinted urban updates, contrasting with the extensive Gravel Pits and the Pratts Wayne Woods Forest Preserve. Transportation networks like the Illinois Central Gulf and Chicago and North Western railroads intersect the river valley, while the presence of the Du Page County Airport on the eastern edge signals the area's transition into a regional hub.
