How Chicago looks as a map poster
Chicago is Illinois's most populous city and the county seat of Cook County. Its 2.74 million residents make it the third-largest city in the United States, while 9.41 million people live across the metropolitan area.
Lake Michigan fixes a clear eastern edge to the central city. From that shore, closely ordered blocks extend inland, interrupted by larger roads, rail corridors, and open spaces.
Area shown on your Chicago poster
Lake Michigan borders central Chicago's regular blocks in this 4.0 km frame, which also includes the main routes through the core.
Lake Michigan occupies the blue field; Chicago's regular inland grid works as the dense charcoal counterweight.
