Description
This real estate map of Lombard, Illinois was published in the late 1920’s and is attributed to Arthur L. Webster. It shows the area from Harrison Road to Pleasant Avenue and Edgewood Avenue to the eastern city border.
The legend includes over 30 symbols identifying each subdivision within the city limits. Transportation routes, parks, schools and owners of large parcels of land are labeled individually.
The cartographer, Arthur Webster, was a resident of the region who worked variously as a railroad engineer, county surveyor, and real estate agent. He was a driving force behind the increasing connectivity between Chicago and its western suburbs in the first decades of the 20th century. Blank on verso.
