2012 Map of Joliet

About this map

Lewis University and Lewis University Airport dominate the northern landscape of this region, while the Des Plaines River serves as the central geographic spine through Lockport and Joliet. This survey documents a highly developed urban and industrial corridor in Will County, punctuated by a dense concentration of civic institutions and memorial sites. The abundance of religious and community cemeteries, such as Saint Joseph Cem, Mount Calvary Cem, and the distinctive Mound Cem, provides significant data for genealogical research. Further south, the map details the expansion of residential and educational hubs, including Joliet Junior College and the University of Saint Francis. The transport infrastructure is clearly defined, from the rail lines at Rockdale Junction to the recreation-focused terrain of the Broken Arrow Golf Course, illustrating the modern evolution of these Illinois river cities.
