Proposed River Straightening Project, 1921 | ||||
|
This 1921 map clearly shows the eastward bend in the Chicago River south of the Loop. The bend cuts off several north-south
streets and creates irrregularly shaped pieces of real estate in the city's general grid pattern. The proposed channel that
would straighten the river is marked with dotted lines.
