1993 Map of Palatine
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
The sprawling suburbs of Schaumburg, Palatine, and Rolling Meadows dominate this late-century landscape, illustrating the dense residential and commercial expansion of the northwest Chicago suburbs. Significant institutional landmarks are prominent, including the extensive campus of William Rainey Harper College and the Arlington Park Raceway near the Chicago and North Western rail line. Despite the intensive development, large green spaces remain, such as the County Forest Preserve and the Spring Valley Nature Sanctuary. The map traces the critical transportation corridors of the Northwest Tollway and Algonquin Road, which fueled the growth of Hoffman Estates and Elk Grove Village. Water features like Elk Grove Lake and its North Pool provide a focal point for the preserved natural areas amidst the suburban grid.
