City and Village Plat MapsPorter County plats of cities, villages, and additions . . . .
Below are numerous links to plats of cities,
villages, and additions within Porter County. Note that several plats were
surveyed and recorded
for villages that never came into existence; most of these plats were recorded
very early in Porter County's history and were platted as speculative land
investments that did not materialize. Other plats were published for small
villages that existed but then later became depopulated, largely due to the fact
that railroads became less
important as a factor in creating and maintaining communities.
City, village, and addition plats have been categorized alphabetically below by
township. Clicking the links will provide access to
full size images. Note that several of these images are large files and may take
considerable time to load on slower Internet connections, such as dialup.
