USGS Topo · Published 1893About this map
The Desplaines River valley serves as a primary corridor for development west of Chicago, as seen in this late nineteenth-century survey. Rail lines define the era's settlement patterns, with the C. B. & Q. R. R. and Chicago and North Western Ry. connecting suburban nodes like Hinsdale, La Grange, and Oak Park. In the north, the Dunning County Farm stands as a significant institutional landmark, while the Illinois and Michigan Canal and Ogden Ditch mark the industrial landscape to the south near Lyons.
