About this map

Westville serves as the primary hub in this portion of LaPorte County, where the transition from the rolling terrain near the Indiana Dunes National Park meets the agricultural flatlands to the south. The landscape is defined by its small crossroads settlements and a network of cemeteries that mark the area's early pioneer history, including Beattys Corner Cem and the uniquely named Eight Square Cem. Transport corridors are prominent, with multiple rail lines and modern highways intersecting near Otis and Holmesville, facilitating movement through the region.

Water features like Clear Lake and Tommy Pond break up the mosaic of woodlots and fields, while the E Arm Little Calumet River snakes through the northern reaches. Educational and institutional footprints are also visible, notably the campus of Purdue University North Central, situated east of the main town. The map provides a contemporary record of how long-standing communities like Burdick and Coburg persist alongside expanding infrastructure.
