USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Indiana Dunes State Park and the burgeoning lakefront communities of Ogden Dunes and Dune Acres anchor this 1940 edition. The landscape reveals a complex interplay of natural shorelines and heavy industrial transit, defined by a dense lattice of rail lines including the Chicago South Shore and South Bend and the Baltimore and Ohio. Further inland, the map captures the established agricultural and residential cores of Chesterton and Hobart during an era of significant regional growth.
