About this map

The massive Union Stock Yards and its complex rail network dominate the landscape of the South Side of Chicago during this era of heavy industrialization. This 1926 survey highlights a world defined by transportation, where the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the older Illinois and Michigan Canal cut through a dense grid of residential streets and industrial tracts. Rail operations are central to the local economy, evidenced by the sprawling Corwith Yards, Clearing Yards, and Rockwell Street Yards.
