1929 Map of Blue Island
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Blue Island and the surrounding southern Cook County suburbs appear here in a period of intense industrial and transit development during the late 1920s. A remarkably dense concentration of memorial parks, including St Maria Cemetery, Ever-Rest Cemetery, and the Burr Oak Lutheran Cemetery, dominates the landscape between residential blocks, illustrating the regional role this area played in Chicago's funerary history.
