1953 Map of Sag Bridge

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The industrial and institutional landscape of southwestern Cook County is defined here by the confluence of the Des Plaines River and two major man-made waterways. The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the older Illinois and Michigan Canal run parallel through the valley, creating a corridor of transport that historically fueled the growth of Lemont and Sag Bridge. To the north, the sprawling Argonne National Laboratory Reservation occupies a massive footprint, reflecting the Cold War era's scientific expansion into the suburbs.
