1929 Map of Calumet Lake

About this map

Industrial and residential development defines this landscape during the late 1920s and 1930s as the Chicago city boundary meets the Illinois Indiana state line. The sprawling waters of Calumet Lake and Wolf Lake dominate the geography, flanked by a complex grid of streets and rail yards. The company town of Pullman stands prominently on the western shore of the lake, near the Pullman Training School, while neighborhoods like South Deering, Hegewisch, and Robertsdale occupy the low-lying land between the heavy rail corridors.
