1963 Map of Palos Park

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Calumet Sag Channel and the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal dominate the northern and central landscape of this southwest Chicago suburban survey. The 1963 data, updated through 1980, reveals a complex transition between the dense residential grids of Oak Lawn and Worth and the sprawling green spaces of the Forest Preserve. Significant land use is dedicated to large memorial sites such as Holy Sepulchre Cemetery and the Lithuanian Cemetery, providing important markers for genealogists studying the area's ethnic settlements.
