Historic reprint map of
Michigan City, Indiana, published 1869. Another map published the same
year of Michigan City is also available, click here to view. Land for
the city was first purchased in 1830 by Isaac C. Elston, and the city
was incorporated in 1836, a town that already contained 1500 residents.
This map was published the same year that one of the town's most
notable citizens, John H. Barker, took over his father's interest in the
railroad car company Haskell & Barker Car Company (referenced on the
map). The company later merged with the Pullman Car Company and became
the Pullman-Standard Car Company. John H. Barker was to become a highly
successful businessman and a great philanthropist to the city,
contributing substantially to the library and several other civic
buildings, including the Y. M. C. A., St. Anthony Hospital, Trinity
Episcopal Church, Barker Hall and the bandstand in Washington Park.

printed as "museum quality", using advanced ink formulas and durable

repair of the original conserved document. Stains and imperfections
reflected in the original map at the time it was collected for
conservation are left un-retouched, as they reflect the character and
charm of the vintage original. Some major imperfections, such as dark
fold lines have been removed when possible. Maps are printed as ordered
and are not returnable unless received damaged. |
