About this map

Lake Michigan shoreline development and industrial waterways define this urban landscape at the southern tip of the lake. The complex hydrology of the region is evident through the parallel courses of the Grand Calumet River and Little Calumet River, alongside numerous drainage features like the Cady Marsh Ditch and Sprout Ditch. The map illustrates the dense residential and industrial grid of Tolleston and Glen Park, contrasting with the more localized settlements of Aetna, New Chicago, and Miller.

Nautical and aviation history are represented by the Gary Harbor West Pierhead Light and the Hobart Sky Ranch Airport, while local landmarks like the Salvatorian Fathers Monastery and Marquette Park Beach provide points of interest for genealogists and local historians. Recreation areas such as the South Gleason Park Golf Course and numerous small lakes including Lake George and Robinson Lake punctuate the heavily developed corridors of Lake County.
