Description
This interesting political map of Cook County, Illinois was published in Chicago by Rand McNally in 1901. It was distributed by Illinois Secretary of State Harry Woods to highlight the boundaries of new state congressional and senatorial districts, mandated by the state legislature the same year as printing. The population weight of Chicago when compared to the rest of the state is evident, as several districts are contained within the city limits. Major thoroughfares (especially those used as district boundaries) and townships with their respective populations are noted.
