Hello!

I'm seeking a map of Chicago (mainly the north side) showing street-level detail as of 1930 or 1940. Specifically, I'm interested in a map that shows the street patterns prior to the construction of the Kennedy Expressway. Any thoughts on sources?

Thank you!

You can google much of it. The Kennedy was mostly built over old railroad right-of-ways.

I'd imagine you can easily find old maps from the era on Ebay or a few dollars.

The Chicago Public Library has a huge collection of not just old maps but archives of neighborhoods that include photos as hundreds of small newspapers that nobody outside of the neighborhoods know about ...
