About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the northern horizon of this 1897 survey, where a complex network of industrial and transport infrastructure was rapidly reshaping the Calumet region. The landscape is defined by the parallel paths of the Grand Calumet River and Little Calumet River, which wind between growing urban centers like Whiting and East Chicago. A remarkable concentration of rail lines, including the Baltimore and Ohio R. R. and the Elgin Joliet and Eastern R. R., crisscross the marshy terrain, converging at junctions like Griffith.
