"The Great Goose Island Expedition," 1930
|
John Drury's Map of Goose Island was first published on March 26, 1930, in the Chicago Daily News. The map shows the location of Goose Island on Chicago’s Near North Side, located between Chicago and North Avenues. Division Street runs across the middle of the island, which was formed after the dredging of the North Branch (Ogden) Canal. While this is a fanciful representation, the map does show the concentration of housing on North Branch, Cherry, and Hickory Streets south of Division Street. The foot of the island was home to shipyards, lumber yards, coal yards, and grain elevators.
