1965 Map of Lake Calumet

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The industrial heart of the South Side and its connection to the Great Lakes waterway system are prominently displayed in this mid-century survey. Lake Calumet and its surrounding wetlands are being actively reshaped by shipping infrastructure, including Turning Basin No. 1 and the Thomas J. O'Brien Lock and Dam along the Little Calumet River. These waterways serve as a massive rail-to-water junction, crowded by the Pennsylvania and Chicago Harbor Belt railroads.
