1928 Map of River Forest
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Des Plaines River winds through the western suburbs of Chicago in this detailed postwar update of 1920s data. The map reveals the dense clustering of cemeteries along the river corridor and the edge of the city, including St. Joseph Cemetery, Acacia Park Cemetery, and Mt. Olive Cemetery. The transition from the urban grid of Oak Park and Dunning to the developing townships of Leyden and Norwood Park illustrates the rapid expansion of Cook County during this era.
