About this map

The Chicago lakefront of the 1960s is defined by its massive park systems and cultural institutions, stretching from Grant Park down to Jackson Park. This survey reveals the dense urban infrastructure supporting the South Side, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad parallels the coast, serving as a corridor for neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Woodlawn. The map captures a high-density institutional landscape, featuring the sprawling campus of the University of Chicago and the storied Oakwoods Cemetery.
