1998 Map of Calumet City

About this map

Calumet City and Lansing anchor this late-century landscape where dense suburban expansion meets the protected woodlands of the Cook County Forest Preserve. The map documents a highly developed corridor along the Illinois Indiana border, defined by a complex intersection of major transit routes including the Tri-State Tollway and the Kingery Expressway. This infrastructure bisects residential neighborhoods and large industrial zones, yet significant green spaces like Lansing Woods and the waters of Wampum Lake remain. Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of institutional landmarks, from St Margaret Hospital to numerous parochial schools and large burial grounds such as Holy Cross Cemetery and Assumption Cemetery. The presence of the Lansing Municipal Airport and the Grand Trunk Western RR lines underscores the area's continued role as a transportation hub for the south Chicago metropolitan region.
