judy is asking if someone has a plat map of 1956era....
and for a look up for the family name on that plat...
what you need to know tho,
is the township.....
..
since she knows WESTMONT that gives you the township to look in...
remember the post of a few days ago....
go to the dupage genweb, look at that 1874 map
find the township
YOU will of course have to know where westmont is so perhaps a visit
first to mapquest for determining MARKERS....

then
judy COULD contact the township offices which likely are the holders
of the plats that were issued and likely the govt that controls that
area unless it has been annexd to a village....

the township would be able to help perhaps on the location of the farm
and where the likely DRIVEWAY would have been

while there, ask about photographic images of the area of that time
