About this map

Glen Ellyn and Bloomingdale anchor this detailed 2012 survey of DuPage County's western suburbs, showing a landscape defined by dense residential growth and complex transportation corridors. The suburban sprawl of the early 21st century is evident as major arteries like the Elgin Ohare Expy E and I-355 cut through established neighborhoods and newer developments such as Shorewood and Saddlewood.

Smaller, historical pockets like Keeneyville, Gretna, and Cloverdale persist amidst the modern grid. The map's hydrography is centered on the E Br Du Page River, which feeds into landmarks like Lake Ellyn and Lake Kadijah. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including the Saint Stephens German Catholic Cem, Bloomingdale Cem, and the Freiennigreit Cem in Roselle, providing a precise look at the area's sectarian and communal history just over a decade ago.
