About this map

Schaumburg and Palatine anchor this detailed study of the Cook County suburban landscape, revealing a dense network of residential developments and commercial hubs. The map illustrates a mature infrastructure of major thoroughfares such as W Golf Rd, W Higgins Rd, and Palatine Rd that define the movement of the region. Local history is preserved in a series of cemeteries including Hillside Cem, German Cem, and the Circle of Life Cem, which stand in quiet contrast to the modern institutional campuses of Harper Coll and Argosy University-Schaumburg.

Waterways like Salt Cr and the W Br Salt Cr weave through the built environment, connecting pockets of green space like Ned Brown Meadow. The map documents the distinct identities of smaller communities like Plum Grove Village, Winthrop Village, and Creekside as they integrated into the larger metropolitan fabric. This 2015 record captures the final stages of the area's transition into a primary suburban economic engine.
