A map to help you find Southern Exposure‘s 60+ Chicago South Side buildings and parks.

As I read my brand new copy of Southern Exposure, Chicago architecture writer Lee Bey’s survey of the overlooked architecture of the South Side, I placed the locations he discusses on this map. Some places I have seen, but many I have not, yet.

On this map, I have marked sixty-eight of the book’s locations and added some photos to the markers so users can confirm they are in or looking at the right place. I’ll add more as I use the map to see these places for myself.

An alphabetical list of all the sites is located below the map. A click on the list will jump you to the location on the map.

This map is just one layer on the bigger Map where you can plan your own ride, run, or walk. Also, you can contact CBA for a custom guided ride that includes some of these sights and for gift certificates for the other cyclists in your life.
