1963 Map of Jackson Park

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the eastern half of this study, its shoreline defined by massive civic engineering projects and the leisure infrastructure of Chicago. From the Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium on Northerly Island down to the South Shore Country Club, the lakefront is a continuous corridor of parks and landmarks. The map documents the dense urban grid of the South Side, anchored by institutions such as the University of Chicago and the sprawling Oak Woods Cemetery. Transport networks like the Illinois Central and Lake Shore Drive parallel the coast, facilitating the movement that shaped this era of the city. Notable cultural hubs are clearly marked, including Soldier Field, the Natural History Museum, and the Museum of Science and Industry situated within Jackson Park.
