Chicago Mile by Mile

This is the web version of a set of photographs that map Chicago's uncomprimising grid into 212 4"x6" snapshots.

Chicago street numbers start at State and Madison downtown. State Street divides east and west addresses, and Madison Street divides north and south addresses. One mile is equal to 800 street numbers.

The photographs document every intersection of mile streets - major roads on section lines.
The photographs were taken between 1/2/02 and 1/22/02, during the second warmest and sunniest January on record.
