1977 Map of La Porte East

About this map

The city of La Porte serves as a dense urban anchor in the northwest corner of this map, surrounded by a chain of glacial lakes including Pine Lake, Stone Lake, and Clear Lake. This mid-1970s landscape shows the city's significant expansion, featuring a well-developed grid of schools like Handley Sch and Maple Sch, alongside civic institutions such as the Courthouse and Library. Beyond the urban core, the terrain shifts to the agricultural expanses of Pleasant and Scipio townships, where the natural drainage of the Little Kankakee River is augmented by man-made channels like Travis Ditch.
