About this map

The Little Calumet River and Grand Calumet River define the industrial and suburban landscape of this Illinois-Indiana borderland in the early 1990s. Heavy infrastructure dominates the region, with the Tri-State Tollway and Kingery Expressway intersecting at the Calumet-Kingery Interchange. This network of roads and numerous rail lines, including the Indiana Harbor Belt RR and Conrail, serves dense residential centers like Calumet City, Hammond, and Lansing.

Green space is preserved within the expansive Cook County Forest Preserve, which contains Wampum Lake and Green Lake. The map reveals a high concentration of institutional landmarks, from Southsuburban College to numerous parochial sites such as St Jude The Apostle Sch and Our Lady of Knock Sch. Local industry is evidenced by the large Quarry near Thornton and Claypits near the Indiana state line, while genealogists can locate several large burial grounds including Oakland Cem and Holy Cross Cemetery.
