Harbour and pier
Trail Creek enters Lake Michigan through a harbour protected by a long breakwater, one of the clearest features on the map and the site of the town's lighthouses.

The map
About this Michigan City map poster
Michigan City occupies a short stretch of Indiana's small Lake Michigan shoreline. On the map the lake forms a vast blank field to the north, and the town's street grid runs up to it, interrupted by the harbour where Trail Creek meets the lake. Along the shore, Washington Park and the pier stretch out into the water, while to the west the coastline gives way to the dunes.
The town is known for its lighthouses, including the old lighthouse on the shore and the pierhead light at the end of the breakwater. It is also one of the few places in the United States where commuter trains, on the South Shore Line to Chicago, have long run down the middle of a city street, a detail visible on the map as a rail line inside the grid.
A Michigan City map poster balances a dense rectangle of streets against a shoreline and open water. Printed in black and white, the lake edge, the harbour channel and the curving creek give a working town a surprisingly elegant outline.

Washington Park
The lakefront park and beach sit at the northern edge of the grid, a strip of green and sand between the streets and the open water.
Street-running rail
The South Shore Line's tracks run along a city street through town, a straight rail line embedded in the grid on its way toward Chicago.
