Chicago streets

Subject: Chicago street mapsFrom: "David Gordon" Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2008 09:28:01 -0500X-Message-Number: 9Alex Woodle asked for help locating a specific address in Chicago.Although I responded to him privately with respect to his particularquestion, I thought many more might be interested in this website.The Encyclopedia Of Chicago has dozens of maps covering all kinds ofinformation from the 17th century through the 2000s. You may want tolook at the site,http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/700011.html For detailed maps of the heart of the city, the best choice is probablyRobinson's Atlas of the City of Chicago from 1886. It is in fourvolumes and they are all scanned. Good luck!David Gordontiganeasca@gmail.comChicago, IL
