USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Des Plaines River and the Sanitary and Ship Canal form the industrial spine of this region, separating the massive complex of Stateville State Prison from the expanding neighborhoods of Lockport and Joliet. The landscape is a dense network of major railroads, including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the Elgin Joliet and Eastern Railroad, which served the local quarries and factories. This era shows significant suburban growth, particularly in areas like Crest Hill and New Lenox.
