2018 Map of Calumet City

About this map

Calumet City and Hammond anchor this detailed study of the Illinois-Indiana borderlands, where the Grand Calumet River and Schoon Ditch weave through a densely developed landscape. The map reveals an area defined by its complex water management and extensive memorial grounds, including the large Mount Glenwood Memory Gardens and Concordia Cem. The presence of the Lansing Municipal Airport and South Suburban College highlights the civic infrastructure supporting these growing suburban communities. Residential blocks are interrupted by significant recreational and natural features like Green Lake and Wampum Lake, while the intricate street grids of Lansing, Munster, and South Holland demonstrate the late 20th-century expansion of the Chicago metropolitan periphery. This survey provides a precise record of the transport corridors and township boundaries that shaped the region's development.
