1993 Map of Mokena
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Mokena and New Lenox serve as the primary hubs in this suburbanizing landscape on the edge of the Cook and Will county line. The map captures a moment of transition where large tracts of forest, such as Messenger Woods County Forest Preserve and Higinbotham Woods, stand alongside expanding residential blocks and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad corridor. The area is dotted with historic markers of early settlement, including Hadley Cem, Brooks Cem, and the small community of Marley. These cemeteries and old church sites like Homer Ch provide essential data for genealogists tracing families in Homer and Orland townships. The local transport network is anchored by the Old Plank Road Trail and the established path of Lincoln Highway, weaving through a terrain defined by the drainage of Hickory Creek and Marley Creek.
