2016 Map of LaPorte East

About this map

The eastern edges of LaPorte dominate the northwestern quadrant of this survey, where the city's residential streets give way to the glacial lake system including Clear Lake, Lily Lake, and Stone Lake. The settlement pattern transitions from the dense urban grid of LaPorte into suburban developments like Monroe Manor and south toward Kingsbury. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Little Kankakee River and various man-made channels like Breckenridge Ditch and Porter Ditch move water across the low-lying terrain. Genealogy researchers will find several significant burial sites mapped in detail, including Patton Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Saint Josephs Cem. To the south, the La Porte Municipal Airport marks a significant modern landmark amidst a landscape still largely defined by agricultural sections and small watercourses like Kingsbury Cr and Ridge Run.
