The transition between the industrial hub of Michigan City and the protected shoreline of Indiana Dunes National Park defines this 2019 survey. The map details the residential expansion of lakeside communities like Long Beach and Beverly Shores, where a dense grid of streets meets the open expanse of Lake Michigan. Further inland, the Town of Pines and the small enclave of Ter Acres sit amidst a landscape shaped by drainage features such as Carver Ditch and the E Arm Little Calumet River. Local genealogy and land-use history are anchored by the presence of Greenwood Cem and Saint Stanislaus Cem on the eastern edge. For recreation and conservation enthusiasts, the map traces the Calumet Trail and highlights the prominence of Mt Baldy, one of the most recognizable landmarks along the southern shore.
