USGS Topo · Published 1900About this map
The Desplaines River valley west of Chicago serves as a massive corridor for transportation and infrastructure at the turn of the century. Large-scale civil engineering projects dominate the southern landscape, most notably the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Chicago Diversion Channel running parallel to the Old Channel. These massive waterways cut through the landscape near Summit and Mc Cook, redirecting the region's hydrology.
