Ravenswood Hospital is at the corner of Wilson and Damen. Ravenswood Elementary School is just outside of the Lincoln Square boundary at Montrose and Paulina. When the Elevated routes had names, the Brown line was called the Ravenswood. Rkm3612 06:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
I have created a map from scratch that has some more detail than the current one.
I have added major streets, two parks and planning on the two near the river. The North shore channel is moved north of the fork and the north branch of the Chicago river is where it should be. I have also changed Ravenswood to be between Montrose and Lawrence because it is my guess that heart of Ravenswood would be near the "Sunnyside Hotel" and that the shameless Ravenswood Land Company partners, John P. Wilson and Cyrus P. Leland helped the decision to have the elevated travel between their streets. Andersonville is east of Ravenswood Avenue and not in this map, so that name should not exist here.
I have not updated the current map because: I am too shy to step on someone else's work and I do not know how yet...
If you watch this page and are interested, some thoughts will be appreciated...

Okay, Damen has been added. I am looking for mass approval before replacing the current map. Regards Rkm3612 10:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Replace map with image above?
Yes
Yes, it's a tremendous improvement. -Larry Siegel

There is something distinctly commercial afoot in the Budlong Woods citation. A breach of wiki ethics, am I wrong?

Nope. The area was settled by members of the Budlong family of Rhode Island. who had this huge farm between the North channel and California, and between Foster and Bryn Mawr. The rest of the area was mostly Luxemborger immigrants and later Swedes.
The Budlong's main cash crop was cucumbers, which gave rise to the whole pickle story (Though they did pack and sell some pretty good pickles, they have long since vanished into history). Eventually the farm was replaced with a country club which was then developed in the early 1950's into homes for the Jews moving from the South Side of Chicago. Psychologically, it was really part of Westridge until the 1980's. Currently it is rather a strange mix of Korean, Indian, Greek and elderly Jewish immigrants. It is in the process of being gentrified, and many of the new homes and condos are extremely expensive. The 40th Ward alderman, Patrick O'Connor, lives in Budlong Woods.
The official name of the neighborhood is Lincoln Bend, but noone who lives there would recognize the name. Before the highways were built in the middle of the last century, it was the main motel strip for visitors from the north and west of the city. The motels along the bend on Lincoln Avenue are a remnant of that era. 24.13.11.47 18:28, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
The map image attached to this article is seriously inadequate and rather inaccurate; Andersonville does not extend along the southern edge of Rosehill cemetery (the gardens on Ravenswood Avenue are labelled "West Andersonville Gardens" and are already at the western edge of the neighborhood), Ravenswood is usually marked as going futher east, and it would really help to clarify things if there more streets than just those along the edges (e.g., Lincoln Avenue, the namesake of the area). siafu 23:59, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
One thing I noticed about the map was that it shows the eastern border of the Lincoln Sq. community area as Ravenswood Ave., while the article says that the eastern border is Damen Ave. I don't know which one of those is right, though. doctorice-chi 14:40, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
I really appreciate your getting the name "North Shore Channel" in the far northern section of Chicago, e.g. West Ridge. But there's a bit of a problem in Lincoln Square CA and probably the adjoining CA to the west (I have limited time using library access). The North Shore Channel joins the Chicago River just south of Foster. I can see the river coming in from the west in Lincoln Square, but the name North Shore Channel is shown south of that junction, where the body of water is here just the Chicago River [North Branch]. Because of space requirements, it might be just as well to put the river name, starting below the junction, and leave off the North Shore Channel name from that CA.[Jean SmilingCoyote, B.A. Geography, maiinganikan@yahoo.com]
