The natural scouring action of the water at this location maintains a permanent depth of 20 to 30 feet In Lake Michigan a few hundred feet from the "Wolf Lake connection. The prevailing north winds do not pile up the sand here in dunes or shoals as at Gary and Indiana Harbor. (See chart, "Chicago Lake Front No. 2". catalogue No. 352). The protection at South Chicago harbor, together with the said scouring action renders maintenance dredging unnecessary, which cannot bi said of other locations in this vicinity. 4. There need be little or no obstruction between Lake Michigan and Wolf Lake. , The railroads cross hera near together, and could undoubtedly be run on one bridge.'which, as track elevation is required in the limits of Chicago near by, might be made high enough to clear the ships. A highway bridge would be the only other between the two lakes. 5. The district is in the center of one of the greatest Industrial centers

Wolf Lake is the focus of the greatest waterway development in the history of the world. At the end of the great Lakes navigation It occupies a most strategic position. The Michigan-Erie canal on the east and the Calumet-Sag canal on the west will converge here. The latter will lead to the Mississippi, Gulf of Mexico, Panama Canal and the parts f the world.
