The page on <a href="http://forgottenchicago.com/features/chicago-areas/old-edgebrook/">Old Edgebrook</a> shows a 1938 map where the neighborhood's streets extend farther than they do today. Check out <a href="http://www.historicaerials.com/?poi=7638"> this 1938 aerial</a> - it doesn't look like the street extensions were ever much more than the paths through the woods that still exist (except Larcom Avenue and anything east of Central, which have all been obliterated by FPD facilities). It also looks like there was another street east of and parallel to Central that doesn't appear on the 1938 map.
