I include this 1929 topo map because...

1929 Blue Island Quad @ 24,000

...I was surprised by how many streets, including Stewart Avenue, didn't actually exist in 1939.

I was even more surprised that I could not see the tower north of the mainline. (I included some boxcars to show that a building should be casting a shadow.) So I'm confused.

Of course, it doesn't show up on a contemporary image.
