About this map

The western edges of La Porte meet a landscape of glacial kettle lakes and wetland preserves in this late-decade survey. A prominent section of the Indiana Dunes National Park occupies the northern reaches, protecting unique ecological sites like Pinhook Bog and Swede Lake. The rural character of the county is evident in the scatter of small settlements and historical crossroads, including Pinola, Durham, and Pinhook.

Tracing the local genealogy of the area is supported by the inclusion of the Miriam Benedict Cem and Eaheart Cem. To the east, Door Village stands as an established community, while the southern terrain is defined by the winding path of Mill Creek. This map captures the modern road network, from the residential streets of the city outskirts to the rural routes like W Joliet Rd that connect these agricultural and residential hubs.
