The Lincoln Park Zoo, a landmark still in present day Chicago, is shown here in an early iteration with some detailed text pertaining to the zoo's beginnings in 1868 with just two swans in a pond. A schedule for the feeding times of monkeys, birds, bears, wolves, foxes, and lions is also included in the brochure. This map spans the zoo's border at Fullerton Ave to the park's South Pond. With much geographical information including paths, streets, and architecture laid out cleanly.
