LOCATING ADDRESSES in WARDS and EDs
THE DIRECTIONAL COORDINATE METHOD
of Locating Wards and EDs
A method of finding the Chicago Ward or
Enumeration District for a
specific address.
Based on the Chicago Grid Mapping System, this
method is quick,
easy, and does not require a present day map or the
reading of ward and
enumeration district descriptions.
"Turner's Best Chicagoland Street Guide"
Tiny, but
mighty little book that provides directional coordinates for
current
Chicago Streets. Necessary tool when using the Directional
Coordinate
method of locating EDs and Wards for 1910-1930 censuses.
This book can
be found in Chicago area bookstores (map department) or
on the web.
Cost: $6.95

Enumeration Districts.
