1998 Map of Whiting
USGS Topo · Published 2001About this map
Industrial infrastructure and the steel-making landscape of Northwest Indiana dominate this shoreline study, where Lake Michigan meets the heavy manufacturing corridors of Whiting and East Chicago. The complex geography of Indiana Harbor and Buffington Harbor reveals a shoreline heavily engineered for maritime commerce, featuring extensive piers, a massive Oil Reservoir, and large areas dedicated to Slag Dump waste. Inland, the dense urban grid is defined by its educational and religious institutions, including Washington High Sch and several parochial schools like St Adalberts Sch.
