Antique Palos Park, Illinois 1928 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Orland Park, Bremen, Worth, Oak Lawn, Stickney, Lyons, Chicago, IL
Beautiful, antique map of Park Ridge, Illinois and surrounding Cook County area of Chicago. This is an authentic 1928 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what Cook County looked like over 90 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
