1953 Map of Chesterton
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Little Calumet River valley anchors this mid-century view of Northern Indiana, where a dense network of transport lines converges at Chesterton and Porter. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of rail infrastructure, including the New York Central, Chesapeake and Ohio, and Eastern lines, alongside the arterial routes of the Wabash and Baltimore and Ohio. This convergence supported a regional economy of mills and light industry, notably at Tratabas Mill on Salt Creek.
