Photo looking south on Ridgeland Avenue north of Lemoyne Street. The hill you see was a "wave-cut" cliff which was on the shore of an ancient Lake Chicago. The continuous wave action eroded this cliff. The sand and gravel was swept around the south and west forming what was called the "Oak Park Spit." The line of the appendix shaped spit can be seen on the map of Lake Chicago. |
