About this map

The industrial and civic core of Gary is documented here alongside its natural shoreline, stretching from the Grand Calumet River to the Lake Michigan coast. The landscape reveals a dense network of neighborhoods like Tolleston, Miller, and Glen Park, which are connected by major thoroughfares including the Indiana East-West Toll Road and Tri-State Highway. This 1991 revision provides an essential look at the city's complex infrastructure, featuring the sprawling Gary Corporation Boundary and significant institutional landmarks such as the Indiana University Northwest Campus and the Salvatorian Fathers Monastery.

Preservation and industry meet at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, which buffers the residential blocks from the lakefront. Local historians will find a wealth of community markers, including several parochial institutions like Holy Angels School and SS Peter and Paul School, as well as the notable Oak Hill Cemetery. To the south and east, the growth of Merrillville, Hobart, and Lake Station is clearly delineated by corporate boundaries and expanding residential grids.
