68 APPENDIX. 



Park, River Forest, and Maywood (see C. & N. W.) can be reached 

 by the Cicero and Proviso street-car line. The La Grange suburban 

 car line passes through Riverside and Grossdale (see C, B. & Q.). 

 The Chicago and Joliet line, southwest, reaches all points described on 

 the C. & A. or A., T. & S. F. railways. On the south side, the 

 Chicago General and Chicago City railways run for a short distance 

 along the drainage canal. The Chicago City railway also reaches the 

 prairie districts west of Englewood (see C. T. T. and C. & G. T. rail- 

 ways). The Morgan Park and Blue Island street railway enters an 

 interesting territory (see C, R. I. & P. and C. T. T. railways). This 

 line now terminates at Harvey (I. C. R. R.). The Calumet street rail- 

 way reaches Hog Island (P., F. W. & C. Railway; Stony Island (reached 

 only by street-cars); Calumet lake, Pullman, and West Pullman (see 

 I. C. R. R.). The South Chicago city railway reaches Cheltenham 

 (I. C. R. R.), Irondale (Calumet lake and low prairies), Roby, Whiting, 

 Hammond, and East Chicago (P., F. W. & C. Railway); this last named 

 line traverses a country rich in lakes, swamps, and ancient beach lines. 



North. — The most interesting localities north of Chicago are along 

 the line of the Chicago and Northwestern railway, Milwaukee divi- 

 sion; all of these points can also be reached by the Waukegan and 

 Milwaukee street-car line, which starts from Evanston. In the vicinity 

 of Rose Hill (8) and Rogers Park (9) there are numerous old beach 

 lines of the Tolleston stage, with their characteristic oaks (p. 64); 

 between the ridges are old lake basins, with peaty soil, commonly 

 utilized for truck farming. At Wilmette (14) the ground is low and 

 flat, but well forested, with the characteristic trees of low moraines 

 (p. 48) and morainic swamps (p. 40). From Winnetka (17) to Lake 

 Bluff (30) there are magnificent places for study: clay ravines in all 

 stages of development (p. 13); lake bluffs, now naked, now grown up 

 to shrubs and trees (p. 50) and inland morainic forests (p. 47). The 

 ravines and lake bluffs are particularly fine, and are nowhere else so 

 well developed. West of Winnetka and Glencoe is Skokie marsh, 

 which shows ail the stages between swamp and prairie (p. 35). North 

 and south of Waukegan (36) are small but interesting dunes (p. 57) 

 and many dying ponds and swamps; an ancient lake bluff at this point 

 also presents interesting features. 



At Edgewater (7), which may be reached by the Chicago, Mil- 

 waukee AND St. Paul railway, Evanston line, or by the Chicago and 

 Evanston street-car line, there are some excellent dunes with a natural
