Evanston Illinois Chicago USGS 7.5-Min Topo Map 1964 Vintage

$31

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1963 edition printed in 1964, in good condition on thick stock, lightly handled with a midsheet horizontal foldline. It takes in the northern lakefront suburbs along Lake Michigan just above Chicago, with the quad area including Evanston, Skokie, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, and Kenilworth in Cook County. The sheet carries traces of working use—an engineering firm’s title box added to the bottom center of the map and communication infrastructure transects neatly applied—which give it a history of its own beyond the printed cartography.

A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted.
