About this map

Englewood and the southwest side of Chicago appear as a dense urban grid in this early 1990s survey, defined by its historic industrial corridors and educational institutions. The landscape is cleaved by the Ship and Sanitary Canal and the South Branch Chicago River, which meet at the Turning Basin. This waterway infrastructure, paired with the expansive Chicago Midway Airport at the western edge, underscores the area's role as a transportation hub.

Parochial schools and neighborhood parks serve as the primary community anchors, from St Rita High Sch to the expansive grounds of Marquette Park. The map also captures significant landmarks of Chicago's civic and cultural history, including the International Amphitheatre and St Ignatius College. These detailed urban blocks offer researchers a clear view of the city's growth along major thoroughfares like the Stevenson Expwy and Eisenhower Expwy.
