1968 Map of Dune Acres
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The dramatic shoreline of Lake Michigan dominates this late-1960s study of the Indiana lakefront, where industrial growth and conservation efforts sit side-by-side. The protected landscape of Indiana Dunes State Park preserves notable topographical peaks like Mt Holden, Mt Tom, and Mt Jackson, contrasting sharply with the heavy infrastructure of the adjacent Burns Harbor. A dense network of transportation corridors, including the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad and Penn Central, connects the lakeside communities of Dune Acres and Beverly Shores to the inland hubs of Porter and Chesterton. Genealogists will note the Bailey Cem and the nearby military reservation, while the presence of Dunes Creek and several utility stations highlights the complex management of this coastal environment as it transitioned through a period of significant regional development.
