Description
This informative map of Chicago’s Loop, River North and Near West Side neighborhoods takes a two-part approach. A panoramic photograph of the city’s impressive skyline can be seen across the top of the sheet, while the map immediately below labels every block in the area with a specific number.
Accompanying the map is a 24-page guidebook identifying relevant attractions and places of interest within each numbered block, in addition to information specific to the Century of Progress. Transportation routes to the fair are also noted, while the verso features a large-scale map of the grounds and a small-scale road map of the greater Chicago area. Copyrighted and published in 1933 by C. Warren Cozzens.
