The eastern edges of Michigan City and the shoreline of Lake Michigan anchor this 2010 landscape, where suburban expansion meets the varied hydrology of LaPorte County. The map details the drainage of Trail Creek and its East Branch, which wind through residential developments like Orchard Highlands and Trail Creek town. Infrastructure is a prominent feature, centered on the Indiana Toll Rd and its major interchanges, alongside the Michigan City Airport. Small-scale water management is visible at the Dingler Lake Dam, while the presence of several established burial grounds, including Swan Lake Memorial Gardens, Cross Cemetery, and Sharp Cemetery, provide significant points of interest for local history and genealogy. From the coastal dunes of Long Beach to the southern waters of Pine Lake and its Holmes Island, the map captures a period of modern connectivity and established community footprints.
