The Smith Family Archive houses hundreds of thousands of handcrafted historical maps and plats of the Chicago metropolitan area and beyond, dating back to the early 1800s. Travel through time to learn how and why land was originally divided and sold and discover some of their most interesting projects, including boundary disputes from their historical archive.
