1965 Map of Lake Calumet

About this map

The industrial heart of Chicago’s South Side and the Indiana borderlands are defined here by a dense network of water and rail. Massive infrastructure projects like the Thomas J O'Brien Lock and Dam on the Calumet River and the sprawling Calumet Incinerator dominate the landscape between Lake Calumet and Wolf Lake. These waterways, including several industrial basins like Turning Basin No 5, supported the heavy manufacturing that once fueled the region.
