1928 Map of Palos Park
USGS Topo · Published 1928About this map
The intersection of massive infrastructure and emerging suburban leisure defines this Cook County landscape in the late 1920s. The northern edge is dominated by the industrial corridor of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Illinois and Michigan Canal, while the Calumet Sag Channel cuts a bold line through the center of the sheet near Worth. This era shows the region as a mosaic of institutional and recreational spaces, from the large Lithuanian Cemetery and Resurrection Cemetery to the numerous social grounds like the Black Bear Golf Club and St Leo's Boys Camp.
