About this map

Fort Wayne suburban expansion meets the agrarian fields of Whitley and Allen Counties in this mid-2010s survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems such as Rehling Ditch, Beal Taylor Ditch, and Graham McCulloch Ditch Number One, essential for maintaining the productive farmland that surrounds the village of Arcola. In the southwest corner, the map captures the headwaters area of the Little River, showing the transition from agricultural tracts to structured residential developments like Timbercrest and Ellisville.

Genealogists can find significant local landmarks including Saint Patricks Cem, Broxon Cem, and Bayliss Cem, while the eastern portion of the sheet highlights the maturing suburban character of the Aboite area. The presence of International Business Coll and several residential lakes, including Covington Lake and Kekiongo Shores Lake, illustrates the 21st-century shift of this region toward a mixed-use landscape of education, recreation, and residential life.
