Henry Harms still held his 100 acres just south of Oakton and north of Lincoln Avenue, and was joined by more plot owners with German-sound­ing names. Descendants of these families still survive in present day Skokie. Buscher and Blameuser, for instance, are names to be found on the stained-glass windows of the Catholic church in the V intersection, and the Blameusers and Hackers, to name only two may still be found living in the village.

Two years after this map was published, the village of Niles Center was incorporated. Its boundaries then ran as shown by the shaded areas on the map, taking in all the area which Snyder shows as being built up. Of course, the village of Niles Center occupied only a very small part of Niles Township.
