I found the index of Illinois counties and then went to the maps for Southen Cook County. Once I figured out a few landmarks I was able to quite easily move about and find the major railroads serving Chicago. Even found my old neighborhood. Thanks for the link.
Later, Dave Sarther

They have been a great help placing buildings and track. They are not the clearest of pictures but you can still pick up some details.

I have been checking out the track between Waltonville and Valier and I am amazed at the number of cars on the tracks back then. > __._,_.___
