Product code: Antique Waukegan, Illinois 1908 US Geological hotsell Survey Topographic Map – North Chicago, Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Zion City, Benton, Shields IL

Beautiful, antique map of Waukegan and North Chicago, Illinois. This is an authentic 1908 edition, 1939 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what the Chicago area on Lake Michigan looked like more than 100 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great hotsell gifts.

Edition of 1908, printed 1939

Dimensions: 16 1/2" width x 20" height
