Calumet City and Lansing anchor this heavily developed corridor along the Illinois-Indiana border, where a dense network of expressways and rail lines navigates a landscape defined by historic watercourses. The Little Calumet River winds through the northern section near South Holland and South Suburban College, while Thorn Cr and Schoon Ditch drain the surrounding residential and industrial zones. This 2012 survey illustrates the complex intersection of transit and community, featuring major interchanges like the Calumet-Kingery Interchange and the specialized grounds of the Lansing Municipal Airport. Local history is preserved in numerous memorial sites, including the expansive Mount Glenwood Memory Gardens, Holy Cross Catholic Cem, and Oak Hill Cem. From the established streets of Munster to the southern neighborhoods of Lynwood and Ford Heights, the map provides a precise record of the suburban and industrial layout of the southern Chicago metropolitan area.
