About this map

Industrial corridors and dense urban grids define this 1990s look at the South Side of Chicago and its neighboring communities. The map highlights the complex relationship between heavy infrastructure and public spaces, shown through the proximity of the Calumet Incinerator to residential pockets like Altgeld Gardens and Hegewisch. The landscape is dominated by the massive footprints of Lake Calumet and the Little Calumet River, providing a clear record of the area's maritime and industrial reliance near the Thomas J O'Brien Lock and Dam.
