Description
This large map of the Metropolitan Chicago Area was prepared and issued by The Chicago Chapter of the Society of Industrial Realtors, probably in the mid to late 1960s. The boundaries of the Switching District and Commercial Trucking Zones are outlined in light and dark green respectively.
Numerous parcels of land designated for industrial development are highlighted in red, while a surprising number of regional airports are colored brightly with yellow. A robust transportation network comprised of railroads and highways is also noted throughout the image.
Published in Evanston by the Joboul Publishing Company (note the 10-digit phone number, compared to the alpha-numeric format by the sponsoring real estate organization).
