$28

This is a 1963 edition of the Blue Island quadrangle, printed in 1965 on thick stock and in good condition. Part of the USGS 7.5-minute topographic series at 1:24,000, it covers a stretch of Chicago’s south side and southern suburbs within Cook County, taking in Oak Lawn, Harvey, Oak Forest, Burbank, and the smaller communities of Calumet Park, Robbins, Posen, and Dixmoor. The sheet was lightly handled and carries a single midsheet horizontal foldline, and an engineering firm’s title box was added at the bottom center of the map area — a small mark of the working life this copy had before it reached a catalog.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Blue Island 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1963 Blue Island map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
