About this map

Chesterton and Porter serve as the primary hubs in this suburban and industrial corridor of northwest Indiana. The landscape is defined by the winding path of Coffee Creek and the East Arm Little Calumet River, which weave through residential developments like Western Acres, Morgan Park, and Brummitt Acres. Local industry and heritage are visible at the Traekabas Mill and Traekabas Mill Dam, while the community’s civic life is centered around the Chesterton Post Office and several longstanding burial grounds, including Chesterton Cemetery and Saint Patricks Cemetery.

Recreational spaces are concentrated in the southern portion of the map, featuring a dense network of water bodies such as Long Lake, Flint Lake, and Spectacle Lake. These areas support local leisure at the Mink Lake Golf Course, Camp Lawrence, and the Pines Ski Area. To the west, the Butternut Springs Girl Scout Camp sits near Salt Creek, illustrating the preservation of wooded tracts amidst the expanding residential footprints of Meadowbrook and Crocker.
