1997 Map of Chicago Loop

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern edge of this dense urban landscape, meeting a shoreline defined by the sprawling greenery of Lincoln Park and the engineering of Navy Pier. This 1990s survey shows the late-century infrastructure of Chicago, where the North Branch Chicago River and South Branch Chicago River bifurcate the city's grid. The map provides a detailed view of the city's massive necropolises, including Rosehill Cemetery, Graceland Cemetery, and the Bohemian Cemetery, reflecting the historical growth and diverse cultural heritage of the area.
