1954 Map of Wilmington

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Kankakee River winds through this mid-century landscape, carving a path past Wilmington and the massive Strip Mines that dominate the terrain to the southwest. The expansion of industrial coal extraction is evident in the numerous Mine Dumps near Braidwood and Diamond, contrasting sharply with the preservation efforts at the Des Plaines Wildlife Conservation Area and Bardwell Island to the north.
