1968 Map of Whiting
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The industrial shoreline of Lake Michigan dominates this late-1960s survey, where the heavy infrastructure of Whiting, Hammond, and East Chicago converges. A complex network of artificial waterways, including the Indiana Harbor Canal and Lake George Canal, facilitates maritime commerce alongside massive lakeside facilities such as an oil reservoir and a sprawling filtration plant. The map documents the dense residential and social fabric of the Calumet Region, locating numerous parochial schools like St Adalberts Sch and Sacred Heart Sch, and healthcare centers like St Catherines Hospital.
