About this map

Ogden Dunes sits on the southern edge of this maritime-focused survey, where the residential community meets the industrial infrastructure of the Indiana shoreline. The map is dominated by the waters of Lake Michigan, though it provides significant detail regarding the navigational aids necessary for entering the Port of Indiana. This industrial harbor is framed by a series of protective piers and light stations, including the Burns Harbor East Light and Burns Harbor North Light 2.

The entrance to the Burns Waterway is meticulously documented with several tactical markers such as the Burns Waterway West Pier Outer Light and the Burns Waterway East Pier Light. This 2011 record documents the modern configuration of the lakefront, illustrating the spatial relationship between the protected residential enclave of the dunes and the massive dredging and shipping developments that define the regional economy.
