1968 Map of Highland
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Industrial and residential expansion defines the landscape between Gary and Hammond during the late 1960s. The dense corridor of the Indiana Harbor Belt RR and Penn Central tracks underscores the region's reliance on rail transport, while the newly established Tri-State Highway and interchanges like the Cline Ave Interchange signal the shift toward modern automotive infrastructure. The map reveals the local social fabric through numerous parochial schools, including St Johns Sch and Our Lady of Grace Sch, and the presence of the Purdue University (Calumet Center).
