Bolingbrook and Woodridge represent the shifting landscape of mid-century suburban expansion on this sheet, which is revised with purple overlays from the late 1970s. The northern sections transition from the Hinterlong Forest Preserve into residential blocks, while the southern reaches remain defined by the industrial corridor of the Des Plaines River and the Ship Canal. This industrial belt is a hub of heavy transport, featuring the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroads serving various quarries and the Lockport Industrial zone.
