Map of Downtown Chicago
This map (pretty much to scale) shows the streets in downtown Chicago, from Chicago Ave (800 N) south to Roosevelt Rd (1200 S), and from Sedgewick (400 W) east to McClurg Court on the north and Lake Shore Drive on the south (400 E). Scale follows the information provided here.
Also included are a few popular downtown attractions. Either mouse-over them (they're pipe-links), or use the handy table below the map. Please note that CTA el routes are not shown on this map, and that before doing any serious navigation one should always consult an actual map.
www represents pedestrian walkways over the Metra Electric and South Shore train tracks. RRR represents the Chicago River.
