1954 Map of Yorkville

About this map

The Fox River valley serves as the primary corridor for development and transit through Kendall County in the mid-1950s. While Aurora expands toward the northeast corner of the sheet, the river connects established centers like Montgomery, Oswego, and Yorkville. The importance of rail travel is clear through the Chicago Burlington and Quincy line, which services the dual community of Bristol (PO and Sta). South of the river, the landscape transitions into a grid of rural agricultural townships including Na Ausay and Lisbon.
