2024 Map of River Forest
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
The Des Plaines River corridor serves as the primary geographic spine for this densely developed portion of Cook County, where historic cemeteries and educational institutions define the urban landscape. This survey details a sequence of massive memorial grounds including Westlawn Cem and Mausoleum, Acacia Park Cem and Mausoleum, and Concordia Cem, which offer significant data for genealogical research. The region's academic character is anchored by Dominican University and Concordia University Chicago in River Forest, alongside Triton College in River Grove. Smaller waterways like Crystal Creek and Addison Creek weave through established residential grids, while Schiller Pond provides a rare open-water feature within the suburban environment. The map effectively traces the transition between the city limits of Chicago and the independent municipalities of Park Ridge, Norridge, and Melrose Park.
