Polygon vector map data covering city boundaries for Chicago, Illinois, containing 1 feature.

Boundary GIS (Geographic Information System) data is spatial information that delineates the geographic boundaries of specific geographic features..

This data typically includes polygons representing the outlines of these features, along with attributes such as names, codes, and other relevant information.

Boundary GIS data is used for a variety of purposes across multiple industries, including urban planning, environmental management, public health, transportation, and business analysis.

Available for viewing and sharing as a map in a Koordinates map viewer. This data is also available for export to DWG for CAD, PDF, KML, CSV, and GIS data formats, including Shapefile, MapInfo, and Geodatabase.

This file corrects several problems in the original TIGER/line files, notably the inclusion of parts of Lake Michigan within the city limits, and the numerous irregularities that are a function of the way the TIGER/line files were created. This file will consequently not line up with TIGER/line streets or tracts; it will line up with the 1992 ward boundary file. Its author is Christopher Siciliano.

This map is part of a collection of 10 maps showing the location of Presbyterian Churches in relation to ethnic groups in the city of Chicago. The manuscript title is "The effects of subsity of Presbyterian Churches", by Henry Hughes Presler, and can be found at Mansueto Library, University of Chicago under the call number BX 10999. These maps have been outlined and vectorized as the originals, and points placed for location of churches as they were in the original. Call number for the maps: G4104.C6E1 1948.H6. Map Collection, Regenstein Library, University of Chicago. Drawn from Map 9 - Locations of Presbyterian churches in relation to ethnic groups in the city of Chicago, by Census Tracts, 1940.

The data contains Multipolygon information for the Boroughs of Chicago used for geospatial analysis. The Coordinate Reference System is EPSG:4326 (WGS84). The file is compressed with xz.

The Historical Urban Ecological (HUE) data project was created for exploring and analyzing the urban health environments of seven major United States cities - Baltimore, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincinnati, Manhattan, and Philidelphia - from 1830 through 1930. The data for each city includes ward boundary changes, street networks, and ward-level data on disease, mortality, crime, and other variables reported by municipal departments. The HUE data set was produced for the "Early Indicators of Later Work Levels, Disease and Death" project, funded by the National Institute of Aging. This collection represents the GIS data for each of the seven American cities, and in addition to ward boundary changes and street networks, includes in-street sewer and water sanitation systems coverage. All cities except Cincinnati include sanitation infrastructure data, and for Baltimore only water infrastructure is available. The city of Chicago includes supplemental GIS layers which reflect a reconstruction of two of Homer Hoyt's maps of average land value (1933 dollars) in the City of Chicago for 1873 and 1892. The square mile areas defined by Hoyt using Chicago's system of mile streets have been fit to the HUE street centerlines for Chicago. The Excel data tables include information about deaths in each ward broken down by cause of death, age, race, gender, as well as information about live births and deliveries.

DISCLAIMER:Subregional Councils of Mayors (COM) boundaries are a hybrid of county and municipal boundaries. The council boundaries are based on the membership of municipalities within a subregional council. County boundaries are followed in unincorporated areas. For municipalities designated as belonging to more than one council, the county boundary is followed. Example 1: the City of Naperville is a member of the DuPage Council of Mayors; since Naperville city limits extend into Will County, the DuPage COM boundary follows the Naperville boundary (including all unincorporated pockets) in Will County. Example 2: Buffalo Grove belongs to both the Lake County and Northwest subregional councils; in this case, the subregional boundary follows the county boundary through Buffalo Grove.It is important to note here that the portions of COM boundaries, defined by municipalities, are fluid: they change as a village annexes adjacent unincorporated land. The boundaries depicted in this shapefile reflect municipal boundaries of varying vintages and sources, and cannot be considered “true” for any given point in time. For more information please visit the Subregional Councils page on the CMAP website: http://www.cmap.illinois.gov/web/guest/about/involvement/committees/advisory-committees/council-of-mayors/subregional-councils.

Habitat Sites are natural areas that support wildlilfe on both public and privately owned land. Approximately 3,800 of the 146,240 acres within the city limits serve as habitat sites. Among the 97 individual habitat sites identified in 2004 using mapping tools, aerial imagery, site-visits, and previous inventory studies, most are located along the Chicago River and on the shorelines of Lake Michigan and Lake Calumet natural areas that support wildlife.
