About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the northern horizon of this industrial corridor, where the Grand Calumet River and Little Calumet River wind through the urban grid of Gary. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape of established neighborhoods like Tolleston, Aetna, and Glen Park, punctuated by institutional landmarks such as Indiana University Northwest. The area is characterized by an extensive network of specialized postal stations, including the Gary Main Post Office and Miller Station Gary Post Office, reflecting the city's complex logistics and history.

Further south and east, the map captures the transition into Lake Station, Hobart, and Merrillville. Significant green spaces and memorial sites are prominent, from the sprawling Oak Hill Cemetery to Evergreen Memorial Park and the Salvatorian Fathers Monastery. The presence of several light stations, such as the Gary Harbor Bulkhead Light, underscores the enduring maritime importance of the shoreline at Marquette Park Beach.
