1963 Map of Jackson Park
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Lake Michigan shoreline of Chicago dominates this map, showcasing a densely developed urban landscape defined by public parks, monumental cultural institutions, and major transit corridors. Along the waterfront, the legacy of city planning is evident in the continuous green space of Burnham Park and Jackson Park, which house significant landmarks like the Natural History Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry. The map illustrates a period of mid-century infrastructure, featuring the active Meigs Field on Northerly Island and the proximity of the Illinois Central Railroad to the lakefront. Inland, the grid of the South Side is peppered with numerous parochial schools and community institutions, such as Hales Franciscan High Sch and the expansive Oakwoods Cemetery. The presence of the University of Chicago and its Midway Plaisance provides a structured anchor to the Hyde Park neighborhood, contrasting with the industrial and transportation hubs found further north and south.
