1963 Map of Palos Park

About this map

Resurrection Cemetery and Holy Sepulchre Cemetery anchor the landscape of this Cook County survey, which documents the post-war expansion of suburban Chicago. The transition from industrial corridors to residential development is evident where the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and Illinois and Michigan Canal parallel the northern edge near Willow Springs. In the south, the Calumet Sag Channel cuts through the forest preserves, separating the established blocks of Worth and Palos Heights from the denser tracts of Oak Lawn.
