1929 Map of Blue Island
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Industrial expansion and extensive memorial grounds define the Cook County landscape south of the Chicago City Boundary. This 1920s survey, updated in the late 1940s, reveals the dense rail infrastructure surrounding Blue Island, where lines like the Pennsylvania RR and Indiana Harbor Belt RR converge near the Calumet Sag Channel. The map illustrates a transitional period of suburbanization, with established townships like Worth and Bremen hosting burgeoning residential clusters in Evergreen Park, Mount Greenwood, and Oak Lawn.
