2012 Map of Evanston

About this map

Evanston and its shoreline communities are depicted during a period of dense urban development, where the gridiron street pattern meets the western edge of Lake Michigan. The map details the significant academic and institutional presence in the area, notably the sprawling grounds of Northwestern University and the Loyola University Mallinckrodt Campus. Near the water, the Grosspoint Lighthouse and Dearborn Observatory serve as prominent landmarks, while the N Shore Channel cuts through the landscape to the west, providing a distinct industrial and hydrological boundary between North Evanston and the surrounding neighborhoods. This 2012 survey captures the layout of established residential districts like Hubbard Woods and Rogers Park, alongside numerous cemeteries such as Calvary Cem and Saint Joseph Cem. The presence of the Metra rail line and major corridors like Green Bay Rd illustrates the long-standing transportation network connecting these North Shore suburbs to the city.
