1953 Map of Dune Acres
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Indiana Dunes State Park dominates the shoreline of Lake Michigan in this mid-century survey of Porter County. The map details a landscape where massive coastal formations like Mt Tom, Mt Holden, and Mt Jackson rise abruptly from the lakefront, bisected by the winding path of Dunes Creek. The southern half of the quadrangle reveals a concentrated transportation corridor, with the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad and the New York Central providing vital links through the region. Local history is anchored by the presence of the Bailey Cem and Burstrom Cem near Baileytown, while established residential pockets like Beverly Shores and Dune Acres appear nestled between the dunes and the inland marshes.
