USGS Topo · Published 1901About this map
The Desplaines River carves a central path through this landscape, which was undergoing a massive industrial and urban transformation at the turn of the century. Large-scale engineering projects are evident in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Chicago Diversion Channel near Summit, while the Chicago Union Transfer Railroad Yards demonstrate the area's role as a burgeoning transportation hub. The map captures the dense grid expansion of the Chicago City Line pushing west into Cicero and Oak Park.
