Description

This color lithographed pocket map of Chicago was published locally by Rand McNally in 1951, according to the printer’s code in the lower corner. A wealth of information about the Windy City is presented; including street names, various railways, parks, cemeteries, house numbers, geographic features, large industries, and important buildings. An inset plan offers a large-scale overview of the Loop, with the majority of the buildings outlined and labeled.
