Chicago High Income Areas: The Northshore

The topographic map shown here was originally printed in 1963 and revised in 1972 and again in 1980. The individual houses are still shown on this map; whereas on the 1993 map that students are using, this area is shaded gray!

The distinctive cultural landscape features of Northshore consist of 
1) private colleges: e.g., Lake Forest College, Barat College, and Trinity College (Trinity International University now);
2) many golf and country clubs;
3) mansions;
4) steep ravines
shown by many brown contour lines closely together: view 1, 2, 3, 4, and a video; and 
5) beaches and erosional control along Lake Michigan
