Urban Cartography and the Mapping Of ChicagoFootnote^*

* The work presented here was initiated when I was privileged to participate in “Popular Cartography and Society,” a summer institute on the history of cartography hosted by the Newberry Library in Chicago and sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities. At the Newberry, I am indebted to the staff of the Hermon Dunlap Smith Center for the History of Cartography and especially to Jim Akerman. I extend thanks to my colleagues Guntram Herb, Anne Knowles, and Tamar Mayer for their insightful comments on earlier versions of the manuscript. The article also benefited substantially from the comments of three anonymous reviewers.
