[OHM] old chicago street maps

[Eric Theise]

Hi Richard,

Earlier than you want is an 1867 map in the David Rumsey collection:

Have you checked with the Chicago Historical Society or Newberry Library?
http://libguides.chicagohistory.org/maps
http://www.biblioserver.com/newberry/

There's also a collection at UIUC:
http://imagesearchnew.library.illinois.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/maps

Sorry if those are all obvious avenues you've exhausted.

Eric
