I am trying to create a GIS boundary of the "burnt district" showing where the Chicago fire of 1871 ravaged the city. This map will be loaded into the Chicago Cityscape Maps Explorer database to be able to report to users if the address they searched for was located in the burnt district.
- Studley map - unknown publication date, drawn by the R.P. Studley Company, St. Louis, "3rd edition".
- Gaylord Watson map - "Entered according to an Act of Congress in the year 1871 by Gaylord Watson in the Office of the Librarian of Congress in Washington". I don't know if Watson drew the map.
- Conzen map - 2004, drawn by Michael P. Conzen with research assistance from Christopher P. Thale, and cartographic design by Dennis McClendon
