[milwaukee-electric] 1930s Transport Company Map, Showing the Creeks

[Ken and Tracie]

This map was made shortly after Lincoln Creek was placed in a channel in =
the the center of Congress from about 47th, but before the Dineen, =
"Marion" and "McGovern" creeks were placed in tunnels. Also, it appears =
Lincoln Creek above Fond du Lac was still in a natural bed.=20

So it appears that the creeks entered Lincoln Creek at about 45th =
Street, not 48th as I mistakenly indicated. In fact, a Google Earth =
photo shows the tunnels at about 45th. The "McGovern Park" creek was =
already in a tunnel above Hampton when this map was made. Now it exits =
at the eastbound lanes of Hampton, probably done when Hampton was =
widened. There was a small Red Owl grocery store there. It is now a drug =
store.
