About this map

Industrial and transit corridors dominate this mid-century landscape of Chicago's southwest side, where the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the South Branch Chicago River converge near a large industrial Turning Basin. The map captures a high density of neighborhood institutions, specifically Catholic parochial schools and churches such as St Rita High Sch and St Bernard Sch, reflecting the tight-knit residential enclaves of Englewood and Elsdon.
