About this map

The North Branch Chicago River and the North Branch Canal carve through the urban landscape of northern Chicago, framing the industrial and residential development of the early 1990s. This survey details the dense concentration of civic and cultural institutions that anchor the city, from the Merchandise Mart and Chicago City Hall in the Chicago Loop to the sprawling grounds of Rosehill Cemetery and Graceland Cemetery. Along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, the map documents the sophisticated park and harbor system, including Grant Park, Belmont Harbor, and the South Lagoon. Significant educational landmarks like De Paul University and Northeastern Ill University appear alongside established neighborhoods such as Logan Square and Ravenswood Manor. The intricate web of the Chicago and North Western railroad and major arteries like the Kennedy Expressway illustrate the transportation network sustaining this metropolitan hub.
