1901 Map of Calumet
USGS Topo · Published 1916About this map
Calumet Lake and its industrial surroundings define this area of the Illinois-Indiana borderlands, captured during a period of massive rail and residential expansion. The complex path of the Little Calumet River snakes through southern Cook County, connecting established hubs like Blue Island and Pullman with newer settlements such as West Harvey and Burnham. This survey reveals a landscape transformed by transportation, where numerous competing lines like the Michigan Central R.R. and Chicago Junction R.R. converge at critical junctions like Thornton Junction.
