1991 Map of Gary
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
Gary's industrial and residential grid meets the shoreline of Lake Michigan in this detailed 1991 revision. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and the Gary Harbor, showing the complex relationship between lakefront preservation and the massive steel-era industrial footprint. Transportation corridors including Interstate 90 and the Tri-State Highway bisect established neighborhoods like Tolleston and Aetna, while an old railroad grade traces the southern bend of the Little Calumet River. In the southern reaches, the map documents the suburban growth of Merrillville and Hobart around local landmarks like Lake George and the Salvatorian Fathers Monastery. Genealogists will find high value in the density of institutions, from the Oak Hill Cemetery to numerous parish schools such as SS Peter and Paul Sch.
