Historical Map of Chicago, IL - 1874
Description
The city of Chicago.
The city of Chicago was incorporated in 1837, and the "Windy City" has grown to become the largest city in the mid-western United States, and the third largest in the country. Printed three years after a third of the city was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, this beautiful map provides a look at the city in the midst of rebuilding.
