1929 Map of Chicago Loop

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern edge of this dense urban landscape, where the Chicago River and its North Branch snake through a tightly packed grid of streets. This era of Chicago's development is marked by sprawling greenspaces and significant institutional footprints, from the massive Rose Hill Cemetery and Graceland Cemetery to the extensive grounds of the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium in the northwest. The lakefront features iconic public works like the Municipal Pier and the sheltered Chicago Harbor, protected by an elaborate system of breakwaters.
