About this map

Chicago's densest urban corridors and lakefront geography are detailed in this contemporary survey, centering on the city's North Side and downtown Loop. The intricate network of the North Branch Chicago River and the North Shore Channel winds through neighborhoods like Sauganash and Lincolnwood, illustrating the historic industrial and residential use of the waterways. Along the Lake Michigan shoreline, a series of public spaces and harbors including Montrose Harbor and Belmont Harbor define the city's edge. This map is particularly significant for genealogists and local historians, as it marks numerous major burial grounds such as Rosehill Cem, Graceland Cem, and the Bohemian National Cem of Chicago. Landmarks such as the Getty Tomb and Couch Mausoleum are noted alongside infrastructure like the Cortland Street Bridge, providing a precise look at the modern metropolitan landscape.
