1965 Map of Lake Calumet

About this map

Industrial infrastructure and dense neighborhood networks define the South Side of Chicago and Northwest Indiana during the mid-1960s. The landscape is dominated by the massive basin of Lake Calumet, a hub for shipping and manufacturing anchored by the Thomas J O'Brien Lock and Dam. To the south, the planned community of Altgeld Gardens stands near the winding Little Calumet River, while the heavy rail presence of the Pennsylvania RR and Illinois Central RR crisscrosses the region.
