Description
Fred Kirk issued at least thirteen different editions of his ‘Map of Chicago and Suburbs’ (really more of an atlas), beginning in 1917. This example dates from 1953 and shows a detailed street grid of much of Cook County, spread across 62 pages.
Index maps of Chicago, the North Shore Suburbs, Western Suburbs to Mannheim Road, and South to the County Line are followed by single-page plans that cover about six square miles each. Parks, golf courses, forest preserves, schools, railroads, and other major landowners are noted throughout.
