1974 Map of La Porte East

About this map

The glacial lakes of northern Indiana define the landscape of La Porte during the mid-1970s. This survey records a dense urban core characterized by public institutions like the Courthouse, City Hall, and Auditorium, which sit alongside historic religious centers including St Peters Ch and St Johns Sch. To the southeast, the residential developments of Monroe Manor and Salem Heights suggest post-war suburban expansion, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by the industrial and conservation footprint of the Kingsbury State Fish and Game Area and a large Ordnance facility.
