We are offering a COLOR COPY of an antique hand drafted map of WINNETKA, IL, showing the territory of the Village of Winnetka as it was in 1904, bounded by: Pine Street on the North + Lake Michigan on the East + Winnetka Road on the South + Linden Avenue on the West, just about a half of the current Village boundaries! Please notice that most of the Village's properties were still comprised of acreage parcels back in 1904!
It is a beautiful hand drafted map, prepared by the founder of our family Land Surveying & Map Making business, Mr. Samuel S. Greeley, who was a long-time prominent resident of Winnetka. In fact, one of the elementary schools in the Village was named by his name in recognition of his contribution to the prosperity of the area.
This map was drafted on Linen, which was very expensive & was used only for rare important maps!
As all other our maps & plats, this one has surveyor's indexing markings from various surveying
projects, completed in the area.
The size is appr. 15" x 18". For accurate dating of this map we referred to our extensive archive.
