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.
