2010 Map of Michigan City West

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates the northern horizon of this coastal Indiana landscape, where the shifting sands of Mount Baldy overlook a complex network of harbor infrastructure and residential growth. In Michigan City, the harbor entrance is defined by a series of navigational aids, including the Michigan City Harbor Breakwater Light and the Michigan City Harbor East Pierhead Light, marking the transition from the lake to the Washington Park Marina and the mouth of Trail Creek. To the west, the residential patterns of Beverly Shores and the Town of Pines are hemmed in by the lake shore and a dense corridor of transportation routes, including the E Dunes Hwy and Railroad Ave. Further inland, the map captures the transition to a more structured grid near the Michigan City Municipal Airport and historical sites such as Greenwood Cemetery and Saint Stanislaus Cemetery, while the East Arm Little Calumet River meanders through the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
