1991 Map of Dune Acres
USGS Topo · Published 1992About this map
Lake Michigan borders a complex landscape of conservation and industrial activity in the early 1990s. The northern shoreline is dominated by the Indiana Dunes State Park and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, protecting significant natural landmarks like Mt Tom and the ecological preserve of Cowles Bog. Residential enclaves such as Dune Acres and Beverly Shores sit directly against the dunes, while the inland southern portion shows the more established grid of Porter and Chesterton. The map documents a transition from these protected natural spaces to the heavy infrastructure of Burns Harbor to the west. Local history is anchored by sites like Baily Cem and Burstrom Cem, while the regional economy is reflected in features ranging from an Amusement Park to the Dune Acres Station.
