USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Lake Michigan shoreline communities and the industrial corridors of Northwest Indiana define this early 1950s landscape. The map shows the growth of settlements like Ogden Dunes and Garyton alongside the heavy rail infrastructure of the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads. This era captures the region's complex water management system, centered on Burns Ditch and the Little Calumet River, which reshaped the local wetlands for development.
