The North Shore communities of Evanston, Wilmette, and Winnetka dominate this detailed 1993 study of the Lake Michigan coastline. The map illustrates a dense landscape of early 20th-century institutions and civic landmarks, ranging from the ornate Bahai Temple overlooking Wilmette Harbor to the sprawling Loyola University campus. The spatial organization of the region is defined by the Chicago and North Western rail line and historic thoroughfares like Sheridan Rd and Green Bay Rd, which historically guided the suburban expansion north of Chicago.
