You mean Centennial Beach? I used to go there as a kid. The Sanborn's 
show the line coming down to there and the quarry along the north side 
of Aurora avenue. The city hall/maintenance building used to be Bob 
Koehler Dodge until around 1970-1972. The Naperville Refuse Service 
parked their trucks across the street from the building. Until I saw the 
maps, I'd never known it.
