1953 Map of Lombard
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Glen Ellyn and Lombard anchor this mid-century portrait of DuPage County, where the transition from rural prairie to suburban sprawl is well underway. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of rail corridors like the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Chicago Great Western, which shaped the early development of towns like Roselle, Itasca, and Bloomingdale. Several country clubs, including Medinah Country Club and Glen Oak Country Club, occupy large tracts of land, signaling the region's mid-century shift toward a residential and leisure-oriented economy.
