About this map

The southern shoreline of Lake Michigan dominates this survey, showing a period of significant industrial and conservation-focused transition in Porter County. The map details the residential community of Ogden Dunes nestled against the expanding Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, highlighting the juxtaposition of natural preservation and heavy industry. To the east, the development of the Burns Waterway Harbor and the Burns Harbor area reflects the region's mid-century economic expansion. Portions of Portage and Westchester are shown, with infrastructure like the Burns Waterway and various industrial markers such as a Substa and Conveyor illustrating the functional landscape. This record captures the intricate boundary between public parkland and the burgeoning steel and shipping complexes along the lakefront.
