1959 Map of Highland
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Highland, Griffith, and the sprawling industrial landscape of the Indiana Dunes region are captured during a period of intense mid-century growth. The map illustrates a dense network of transportation infrastructure, dominated by the Tri-State Highway and a labyrinth of rail lines including the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Elgin Joliet and Eastern Railway. The urban character is defined by established neighborhoods in East Chicago and Hammond, where numerous parochial schools like St Catherine of Siena Sch and Our Lady of Grace Sch stand as anchors for the local community.
