1901 Map of Calumet

About this map

Calumet Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this turn-of-the-century portrait of a region rapidly industrializing. The landscape is defined by a dense web of competing rail lines, including the Ill. Cent. R. R. and the Chicago Terminal Transfer R. R., which fuel the growth of company towns like Pullman and manufacturing centers such as Harvey and Blue Island. These corridors connect established residential areas like Morgan Park and Washington Heights with the heavy industrial reaches near Wolf Lake and the Illinois Indiana State Boundary Line.
