There’s a hole in the map of Chicago. It turns out, it’s a cemetery. But there are many other cemeteries in Chicago that don’t show up as holes on the map, so what’s up with this one? We take you to the 19th Ward and explore the history of this dead zone. This story was first published April 11, 2024. Mt. Greenwood Cemetery is now owned by Troost Cemeteries.
