About this map

Chicago Midway Airport and the dense industrial rail yards of the Grand Trunk Western and Belt Railway of Chicago anchor this mid-century portrait of Chicago's Southwest Side. The map reveals an intricate network of neighborhood life centered around parochial institutions such as St Rita High Sch and St Casimir High Sch, reflecting the strong community and religious identity of areas like Englewood and Elsdon during this era. Heavy industry and transport corridors define the landscape, with the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the infamous Bubbly Creek cutting through the urban grid near the International Amphitheatre. Amidst the warehouses and tracks, significant green spaces like Marquette Park, Sherman Park, and Ogden Park provide the primary recreational outlets for these densely populated South Side wards.
