Old Map of Chicago After The Great Fire, 1871, Gaylord Watson - Downtown, Lake Michigan, River, Wards, Burnt District Size:A3 (297x420mm) In the top right thereA fantastic, historically important map of Chicago, published in 1871 shortly after the Great Fire, which burned for 2 days and wiped out a huge portion of the city. Roughly 300 people died while a further 100,000 residents were left homeless. (At the time, only 330,000 people lived in Chicago!) The damage, in modern money, equated to billions of dollars. The extent of the fire damage is shown by the huge 'fire district', coloured in bright red. Each
