About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this quadrangle, covering nearly the entire map and illustrating the vast aquatic boundary of Illinois in the early twenty-first century. Along the southwestern shoreline, a small portion of the residential grid in Cook County appears, showing the coastal layout of New Trier Township. The local street network includes Dell Pl, S Ave, and Palos Rd, which trace the edge of the residential expansion toward the lake. This survey represents a specific moment in the shoreline’s history, documenting the intersection of modern suburban development with the unchanging expanse of the Great Lakes.
