USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Chicago and North Western rail lines anchor the growth of Palatine and neighboring Arlington Heights in the early 1950s, a period before the rapid suburbanization of the late 20th century. The landscape is a mix of developing residential grids and the rural heritage of Schaumburg and Elk Grove, where large tracts of land remain dedicated to uses like the Arlington Park Race Track and the sprawling Busse Forest Preserve.
