1954 Map of Romeoville
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The industrial and institutional corridor of the Des Plaines River valley dominates this mid-century survey, showing the heavy infrastructure that defined the region before suburban expansion. The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal runs parallel to the river, flanked by multiple rail lines including the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Gulf Mobile and Ohio. This transportation spine supports numerous quarries and industrial sites, while the Argonne National Laboratory Reservation occupies a massive footprint on the eastern edge.
