USGS Topo · Published 1911About this map
The Desplaines River valley serves as the central artery for this survey, showcasing a landscape in the midst of rapid industrial and suburban transition west of the Chicago City Line. The map reveals the intricate engineering of the era, most notably the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Ogden Ditch, which redirected the region's natural hydrology for sanitation and commerce. At Ogden Dam, the intersection of these waterways highlights the massive infrastructure projects that shaped the modern Cook County landscape.
