About this map

Blue Island stands as a primary junction in this late 19th-century landscape, where the Little Calumet River and a massive concentration of rail lines converge. The map documents the industrial and residential expansion south of the city, highlighting the planned industrial town of Pullman near the shores of Calumet Lake. To the east, the Illinois Indiana Boundary Line cuts through marshy terrain toward Hammond, while the northern portion of the sheet shows the developed grid of South Chicago meeting Lake Michigan.
