1992 Map of Portage
USGS Topo · Published 1992About this map
Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore dominates the northern shoreline, where the landscape transitions from the waters of Lake Michigan into a complex network of industrial and natural features. This 1990s revision documents the growth of Portage and South Haven, showing the intensive rail and road infrastructure necessary for the region's shipping and manufacturing economy. The Indiana Toll Road and major rail lines like Conrail and the Elgin Joliet and Eastern Ry cut through the terrain, intersecting with Burns Ditch and the Little Calumet River. Local history is preserved in the location of numerous burial grounds, including Calvary Cemetery, McCool Cem, and James Cem. Residential pockets like Garyton, Crisman, and Willow Creek are shown amidst expanding institutional landmarks such as Portage High Sch and the Porter Memorial Hosp.
