Lake Michigan dominates this coastal survey, which captures the expanse of the water just off the industrial shores of Indiana. The map focuses primarily on the maritime environment, showing the depth of the lake and the immediate coastline of the Gary township boundary at the southern edge of the sheet. This specific chart is an essential resource for understanding the bathymetry and shoreline configuration of the region as it existed in the mid-2010s. It provides a precise record of the interface between the urbanized land at the southern tip of the lake and the open waters that have historically defined the economic and recreational life of the area.
