2015 Map of West Chicago

About this map

West Chicago and the neighboring suburban reaches of Cook and DuPage counties appear here as a landscape of established residential grids and remaining pockets of local history. The path of the W Br Du Page River winds south through the center of the sheet, passing near the Wayne Township Cem and the small settlement of Wayne Center. This 2015 survey reflects the dense development patterns around Streamwood and Hanover Park, while still noting smaller historical locales like Ontarioville and Prince Crossing. The presence of several distinct burial grounds, including the Old Ontarioville Cem and the Illinois Pet Cem, provides significant detail for genealogists and local researchers. Large-scale infrastructure, notably the Dupage Airport, anchors the western side of the map, illustrating the modern aviation and transit corridor that defines this portion of the Illinois prairie.
