Chicago, Illinois
Jackson Park sits along the southern lakefront of Chicago, a landscape shaped by centuries of ecology, a transformative world's fair, and the ongoing histories of the communities it borders. This map is an invitation to explore those overlapping stories.
Using three thematic layers, visitors can move between the park's ecological systems, the footprint of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, and the broader cultural and historical threads that run through this place to the present day.
