2016 Map of Westville

About this map

Westville serves as the primary hub in this portion of LaPorte and Porter Counties, situated at the junction of several regional transit routes. The landscape is characterized by a high density of small rural communities and dispersed heritage sites, including several family and community burial grounds such as Quakerdom Cem and Carter Cem. In the north, the protected landscape of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore borders the Arm Little Calumet River, while further south, the Purdue Univ N Central campus represents the modern institutional footprint in the area. The geography is defined by numerous kettle ponds and wetlands, such as Clear Lake and Moore Swamp, which are interspersed among the small settlements of Burdick, Otis, and Holmesville. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region despite its proximity to major transportation corridors like the CSX Transportation line.
