About Chicago
Chicago represents an absolute triumph of urban grid planning. Completely destroyed by the Great Fire of 1871, the city was meticulously rebuilt on a strict, compass-aligned grid that stretches relentlessly across the flat prairie. The map is defined by the dead-straight eastern boundary of Lake Michigan, providing a spectacular, immense blue void against the dense concrete grid of the city.
