About this map

Mokena and New Lenox anchor this mid-century survey of the Illinois prairie south of Chicago, showing a landscape defined by traditional agriculture and early suburban expansion. The era's transportation network is prominently displayed, featuring the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and Wabash railroads alongside historic thoroughfares like the Lincoln Highway. The map captures a high density of rural institutions, including one-room schools such as Wells Corner Sch, Lynk Sch, and Francis Sch, many of which were still active or recently transitioned during this period.
