1962 Map of Romeoville
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The industrial and transportation corridors of the Des Plaines Valley define this landscape, where the Des Plaines River runs parallel to the Sanitary and Ship Canal. This 1962 revision shows the area transitioning from rural townships to suburban development, with planned communities like Woodridge and Romeoville emerging alongside established rail lines such as the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe. The map documents a complex mix of land uses, from the scientific grounds of the Argonne National Laboratory Reservation to the recreational Big Run Golf Club and the Hinterlong Forest Preserve. Local history is anchored by numerous small cemeteries and landmarks like Barbers Corners and Welco Corners, while the heavy industrial character is reinforced by active quarries and the powerplant near the southern canal bend.
