About this map

The industrial and residential corridors of Northwest Indiana intersect here, defined by a dense grid of railways and waterways. The Grand Calumet River and Little Calumet River navigate through a landscape of heavy transportation and commerce, connecting the established neighborhoods of Hammond, Gary, and East Chicago. This modern-era survey shows the significant footprint of regional infrastructure, including the Gary/Chicago International Airport and the sprawling Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore to the south. Local heritage is preserved in numerous family and community sites like Saint Marys Cem, Elmwood Cem, and Hope Cem. The presence of the Purdue University-Calumet Campus and the Oak Savannah Trail illustrates the area's role as a major educational and recreational hub within the Calumet Region.
