1965 Map of Lake Calumet

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The heavy industrial corridor of Southeast Chicago and its neighboring Indiana borderlands are captured during a period of intense mid-century urbanization. Dominating the center is Lake Calumet, a vital hub for shipping and waste management, evidenced by the Calumet Incinerator and nearby refineries. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of neighborhood streets and the intricate rail network of the Penn Central Railroad and Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad.
