1953 Map of St. John
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Lincoln Highway cuts across the northern landscape, anchoring a post-war transition from farming to suburban recreation in Lake County. This era of development is visible in the emergence of Lake Hills and the concentration of leisure sites like the Illiana Race Track, Lake Hills Country Club, and the Cedar Lake Golf Club. The area is a nexus of mid-century rail infrastructure, where the Pennsylvania, New York Central, and Chicago Indianapolis and Louisville railroads converge to serve the industrial and commuter needs of the region.
