2024 Map of Chicago Loop OE E

About this map

The vast expanse of Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, where the urban density of Chicago meets the waterfront. The map highlights the specialized maritime and academic infrastructure of the near-north side, centered around the Northwestern University Chicago Campus. The shoreline is defined by recreational spaces like North Avenue Beach and Oak Street Beach, which transition into the engineered maritime areas of the Outer Harbor and Chicago Harbor. This modern snapshot captures the intricate street grid east of N Michigan Ave, including the specialized industrial-turned-commercial waterway of Ogden Slip and major transit arteries like N Lake Shore Dr and E Wacker Dr, reflecting the city's continuous reliance on its lakefront for both commerce and public life.
