1953 Map of Crown Point
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Crown Point serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, shown as a thriving hub with its landmark Courthouse, County Fairground, and concentrated street grid. The map captures Lake County just as suburban expansion began to bridge the gaps between historic settlements like Merrillville, Ainsworth, and Winfield. This era of transit is defined by the heavy presence of the Lincoln Highway and three major rail lines—the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Erie, and the Chesapeake And Ohio.
