About this map

Streeterville and the eastern edge of the Chicago Loop meet the expanse of Lake Michigan in this digital-era survey. The map details a dense concentration of cultural and educational institutions along the lakefront, including the Sch of the Art Institute of Chicago, Roosevelt Univ, and the American Acad of Art. The shoreline is defined by public spaces such as North Avenue Beach and Oak Street Beach, leading down to the industrial and recreational intersections of the Chicago Harbor.

Inland, the street grid is marked by major thoroughfares like E Chicago Ave and E Grand Ave, while the Ogden Slip highlights the historic maritime infrastructure of the Cityfront Center area. This 2015 record captures a specific moment in the city's ongoing waterfront development, documenting the proximity of modern campuses like the Univ of Phoenix-Chicago Campus to the traditional harbor entries.
