Cityscape maps updated to reflect new Illinois legislators

Chicago Cityscape strives to have the most recent and accurate information. We have tens of thousands of “Places”. Locally, in Chicago, that means Ward boundaries, community areas, neighborhood and business organizations, and INVEST South/West corridors, among others. Additionally, we have TIF districts and Enterprise Zones across the region to help people find development and financial incentives.

Across Illinois, however, we have the 18 Congressional districts, 59 state senate districts, and 118 state house districts. And we just updated 19 of the legislators based on resignations and new elections.

Here’s the rundown:
