A large street map of Chicago published in the year that Prohibition was enacted. Over the next decade, Chicago would become famous worldwide as the home of Al Capone and other organized crime figures.
Chicago is depicted as a sprawling, but organized, city with a neat grid of streets and an extensive transit network. Streetcars, railways, bus routes and elevated railway lines are all marked on the map. Rogers Park and Evanston form the northern boundary of the map, whilst Blue Island and Lake Calumet make up the southern boundary. Street names are indexed in all four margins.
