2016 Map of Ogden Dunes

About this map

Lake Michigan dominates this northern Indiana landscape, where the shifting sands of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore meet the heavy industrial infrastructure of the lakefront. The map shows the residential enclave of Ogden Dunes buffered by parkland, while just to the east, the massive footprints of Midwest Steel and Mittal Steel define the economic character of Portage. The layout of Burns Harbor reveals a transition from natural dunes to engineered ports and industrial grids. The southern shoreline is threaded with local routes like Shore Dr and George Nelson Dr, illustrating how human settlement and industry have tightly integrated into the narrow strip between the dunes and the water in the mid-2010s.
