About this map

Industrial expansion and rail networks dominate this late 19th-century landscape south of Chicago, where marshy lowlands meet the growing urban grid. The planned industrial community of Pullman sits along the western shore of Calumet Lake, reflecting the era’s ambitious corporate-led development. To the east, South Chicago serves as a gateway to Lake Michigan, while a complex web of railroads including the Illinois Central Railroad and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad converge near Blue Island.
