2019 Map of Valparaiso

About this map

Valparaiso serves as the dense core of this Porter County landscape, where the traditional grid of the city meets the expanding residential developments of Lincoln Hills, Westhill, and Marian Manor. The region's history is deeply etched into the land through an extensive network of burial grounds, including the centrally located Union Street Cem and the clustered Graceland Cem, Maplewood Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem to the south. The transition from urban center to rural prairie is marked by a complex system of agricultural drainage, with Block Ditch, Parker Ditch, and Cobb Ditch shaping the layout of the surrounding fields. To the southeast, the Porter County Regional Airport stands as a modern focal point, while the southern reaches near Malden maintain a more open character, punctuated by family-named landmarks like Fleming Cem and Stoner Cem.
