This is an attractive coffee table book, with some amazing maps of the city and region, especially 19th century maps. The 1833 Conley and Seltzer map stands out.

This review is from: Chicago in Maps: 1612-2002 (Hardcover)
This is an attractive coffee table book, with some amazing maps of the city and region, especially 19th century maps. The 1833 Conley and Seltzer map stands out. The Palmatary View from 1857 is another standout. The maps of the 2 World's Fairs are also absolutely fantasticSo, why 3 stars? The problem is the level of detail. The maps, for the most part, are reproduced in such small size that a magnifying glass is necessary to really appreciate them. You can't make anything out on them. The other problem is the lack of 20th century maps, especially maps of the latter half of the 20th century. These issues make it difficult to really appreciate this book.

Maps are too small,
By Irving Parke-Rhode "Irv" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chicago in Maps: 1612-2002 (Hardcover)
This would be a great book if it was larger. Most of the maps are far too small. Even with a magnifying glass much of the detail on the maps can't be made out. What good is a map you can't read? A real shame.
