1993 Map of Jackson Park

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Lake Michigan shoreline defines the eastern reach of Chicago in the early 1990s, revealing a dense urban landscape of world-renowned institutions and historic South Side neighborhoods. Large civic green spaces like Grant Park and Jackson Park anchor the lakefront, containing the Museum of Science and Industry, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Adler Planetarium. This map documents the complex infrastructure of a modern metropolis, from the Chicago Skyway (Toll) to the Illinois Central Gulf RR corridor. Further inland, the sprawling grounds of the University of Chicago and Oakwoods Cemetery stand as massive anchors for their respective districts. The map shows the intricate network of harbor systems, including Burnham Park Harbor and the 59th Street Harbor, protected by a continuous Seawall and the Southerly Breakwater.
