USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The southern shores of Lake Michigan meet a dense industrial and transit corridor in this Porter County survey. Settled areas like Portage, Gary, and East Gary are interwoven with a massive network of competing rail lines, including the Chicago South Shore and South Bend and the Elgin Joliet and Eastern. This era shows the residential expansion of communities like Inland Manor and Garyton alongside industrial sandpits and the meandering Little Calumet River.
