1928 Map of Palos Park
USGS Topo · Published 1933About this map
The Calumet Sag Channel and the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal dominate the hydrology of this Cook County landscape, carving through the terrain near Spring Forest. These industrial waterways run parallel to older infrastructure like the Illinois and Michigan Canal, illustrating a dense corridor of 1920s transport and drainage engineering. To the east and south, the grid of suburban development begins to take shape in Oak Lawn and Chicago Ridge, while the more wooded, varied topography around Palos Park remains punctuated by leisure and institutional sites. The map reveals a high concentration of regional landmarks, from the Resurrection Cemetery in the north to the Midlothian Country Club at the southern edge, alongside scattered rural education centers like McCord School and Palos School No 117.
