The Des Plaines River corridor serves as a busy transit and industrial artery on this 1963 survey, where the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Calumet Sag Channel converge. This hydrologic junction at Sag Bridge is surrounded by a dense network of forest preserves and sloughs, including the expansive Saganashkee Slough and Maple Lake. The landscape reflects mid-century institutional and industrial growth, anchored by the Argonne National Laboratory Reservation and the City of Chicago Correction Farm.
