1960 Map of Whiting
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Industrial infrastructure along the southern tip of Lake Michigan dominates this early 1960s landscape, where the heavy industry of Whiting and East Chicago meets the water. Large clusters of oil reservoirs and refineries sit adjacent to the intricate residential grids of the city, including the planned community of Mark Town with its central Mark Town Park. The coastline is heavily modified by man-made piers and slips, most notably at Indiana Harbor and Buffington Harbor, facilitating the movement of materials for the regional economy.
