Summary

Description

The confluence that made Chicago. The Sanitary & Ship Canal [originally I&M Canal] (left) created a water route enabling ships to travel between the Great Lakes (and Hudson Valley via Erie Canal) and Mississippi basins.

The South Branch of the Chicago River (to upper right) created the Lake Michigan harbor upon which Fort Dearborn was built.

Bubbly Creek (lower right) drained the stockyards.
