2019 Map of Highland

About this map

The Grand Calumet River and Little Calumet River define the industrial and residential corridors of Northwest Indiana in this 2019 survey. The map shows a high concentration of religious burial grounds including Saint John Saint Joseph Catholic Cem and Saint Nicholas Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted immigrant and community history of Hammond and Gary. Transportation remains a central theme, as modern rail infrastructure like the Gibson Transfer Rd intersects with a growing network of recreational paths, such as the Erie Lackawanna / Cross Town Trail and the Yellow Connector Trail. This document reveals the transition from heavy rail and industrial use toward public spaces, including the northern portions of Indiana Dunes National Park near Griffith and Merrillville.
