This map was compiled from descriptions and is probably the most
reproduced historic map of Chicago in existence. While it shows some of
the important land marks, it is silent on many details of the area. On the
east side of the South Branch of the Chicago river a band of trees is
found and is the origin of the name of Grove street. It was through these
woods that John Kelso and a young lad had escaped from the Indian raid on
Lee's Place in April of 1812.
