1901 Map of Calumet

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

Calumet Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this turn-of-the-century landscape at the edge of Lake Michigan, where the industrial expansion of the south Chicago region is clearly visible. The heavy concentration of rail lines, including the Michigan Central R. R. and the Illinois Central R. R., defines the development of company towns like Pullman and transit hubs like Blue Island. These industrial centers are contrasted by the presence of significant institutional landmarks such as the Glenwood Industrial School and large burial grounds like Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
