USGS Topo · Published 1931About this map
Evanston and the burgeoning North Shore suburbs appear in meticulous detail during the mid-1920s, showing a landscape defined by lakefront institutions and prestigious recreation. This era of rapid suburban expansion is visible in the dense street grids stretching west from Lake Michigan, punctuated by significant centers of learning like Northwestern University and Loyola University. Along the coast, the Gross Pt Lh and the Coast Guard Sta stand as sentinels near Wilmette Harbor.
