2010 Map of LaPorte West

About this map

La Porte’s western suburban and rural fringes are defined here by a transition from industrial and recreational lakeside developments to a structured agricultural grid. The city's edge is marked by the Laporte Fair Grounds and a cluster of water bodies including Pine Lake, Stone Lake, and Orr Lake. A network of rural settlements such as Durham, Pinola, and Pinhook dot the landscape, connected by a dense lattice of numbered roads like S Wozniak Rd and the diagonal sweep of the Indiana Toll Rd. This layout reflects the area's mid-century development as it balanced its role as a regional hub with its agricultural foundations. Notable for genealogists are several historic burial sites, including Eaheart Cemetery and Clinton Chapel Cemetery, while the presence of the Walton Lake Dam and Mill Creek illustrates the local management of the region's abundant glacial water resources.
