About this map

Lake Michigan defines the eastern boundary of this mid-century urban landscape, where the dense grid of Chicago meets the waterfront. This era shows the city's complex medical and educational infrastructure at its peak, featuring landmarks like the Northwestern University Medical School and De Paul University. The map documents the heavy industrial and logistical importance of the waterways, from the Turning Basin to the Ogden Slip near the mouth of the Chicago River.
