1998 Map of Highland
USGS Topo · Published 2001About this map
The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore offers a significant natural contrast to the dense residential and industrial grid of Northwest Indiana in the late 1990s. This survey documents the closely integrated boundaries of Highland, Hammond, and Griffith, where an extensive network of drainage features like the Cady Marsh Ditch and the Grand Calumet River define the low-lying terrain. The map captures a landscape shaped by transportation and industry, from the Gary Municipal Airport and the Slag Dump in the northeast to the complex interchanges of the Tri-State Highway. Local infrastructure is highly detailed, featuring numerous parochial schools such as Our Lady of Grace Sch and St Catherine of Siena Sch, alongside local landmarks like the Woodmar Country Club. The transition from industrial rail corridors to community parks like Wicker Park and Brantwood Park illustrates the suburban evolution of Lake County during this era.
