1998 Map of Lombard

About this map

Glen Ellyn and surrounding DuPage County communities are captured here during a period of dense suburban infill at the close of the twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the dual presence of extensive residential developments and the preservation of green space through the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, notably at Mallard Lake Co For Presv and Churchill Woods Co For Presv. Transportation corridors like the Chicago and North Western and Illinois Central Gulf railroads continue to anchor the region's historic rail-oriented growth, connecting settlements like Roselle, Lombard, and Wheaton. Significant local landmarks such as the Schaumburg Airpark and the Stratford Square Shopping Center reflect the commercial evolution of the area, while numerous parochial institutions like Our Lady Queen of Peace Ch and St Pauls Cem provide vital touchstones for genealogical research.
