1929 Map of Mokena
USGS Topo · Published 1929About this map
The village of New Lenox serves as a primary hub for this late 1920s survey of northeastern Illinois, where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad tracks bisect the township. This period of development shows the intersection of historic rural agriculture and the emerging automobile age, with the Lincoln Highway and State Highway No 22 cutting through the landscape. The map reveals an intricate network of localized social centers, specifically noted by the numerous one-room schoolhouses such as Solterman School, Lauffer School, and Daniels School that served the dispersed farmsteads of Homer and Frankfort townships.
