About this map

Mount Baldy rises near the shoreline, anchoring a landscape where the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore meets the developed waterfront of Michigan City. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex water management and maritime infrastructure along Lake Michigan, including the Washington Park Marina and a series of navigational aids like the Michigan City Harbor East Pierhead Light and the Outer Basin Light.

Inland from the dunes, the residential patterns of Beverly Shores and the Town of Pines are defined by a grid of coastal roads like Lake Shore Dr and E Lake Front Dr. The southern portion of the map reveals a transition to more agricultural or open land, drained by a network of engineered waterways such as Brown Ditch, Kintzele Ditch, and Carver Ditch before reaching the East Arm Little Calumet River.
