Mannheim Rd. Aerial Photos
Running through the center of the photograph from bottom to top is Mannheim Road. From left to right across the center of the photograph are the Milwaukee Railroad tracks. Winding its way from the center left of the photograph to the top center is the Tri-State Toll Road (294). Just to the right of where the Tri-State Toll Road and Mannheim Road cross, above the housing development, is Waveland Ave. Just below the housing development is Addison St. Below the Milwaukee Railroad tracks is Franklin Ave. (it curves underneath Mannheim Road). You can see some more of Franklin Park's industry in the bottom left corner of the picture. In the bottom-right corner of the picture is more residential area.

From the bottom center running to the left is Mannheim Road. From left center to right center of the photograph is the Milwaukee Railroad tracks. Below center right of the photograph is Dora Street. In the very lower right hand corner of the photograph is Belmont Ave. At the very top of the photograph you can see Schiller Park, IL. Notice the area above the railroad tracks, between roughly Ernst St. and Sarah St. is undeveloped.

Beginning in the bottom left corner and running up to below center right is Mannheim Rd. From center bottom running towards the upper left corner is Schiller Blvd. In the upper right corner extending and curving towards the upper left corner is Franklin Ave. You can see the tank farms just below Franklin Ave. near the right corner of the photograph. There is quite a bit of vacant land shown here as well as a few hotels along Mannheim Rd. which have been torn down -- and a few which still remain.

Below center on the left and right sides of this photograph is Mannheim Rd. Near the bottom right corner of the photo is Franklin Ave. snaking its way west towards Bensenville. The tank farms are visible west of Mannheim Rd. and west of Franklin Ave. You can see several businesses located along Mannheim Rd. that have been torn down, and a few which still remain. You can also see the residential area south of Franklin Ave. and east of Mannheim Rd.
