1997 Map of River Forest
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
The Des Plaines River corridor serves as the central spine for this late-20th-century landscape, separating the dense residential grids of Chicago from the western suburbs. This era reflects a fully developed urban-suburban interface where massive green spaces like Robinson Woods North and Schiller Woods South provide a stark contrast to the nearby industrial and commercial centers. The map detail highlights a significant concentration of institutional and memorial land use, particularly the cluster of large burial grounds including Westlawn Cemetery and Acacia Park Cemetery.
