1963 Map of Tinley Park

About this map

The Indian Treaty Boundary cuts diagonally across this landscape, marking a historical division that still influences the grid of Cook and Will counties. While Tinley Park and Orland Park show significant postwar suburban expansion—highlighted by revisions for Fernway Park and Westhaven—the southern reaches toward Frankfort retain a more open character. Notable institutional landmarks include the extensive grounds of the Tinley Park State Hospital and the WLS-WENR Radio Tower. The transportation network is defined by the Chicago and Rock Island and Norfolk and Western railroads, which facilitated the growth of these communities. Local history is preserved in sites like Hickory Cemetery and St. Boniface Church, while educational hubs such as Kirby-McIntosh School and Anna Rutledge School serve the developing neighborhoods.
