About this map

Arcola and the unincorporated community of Dunfee sit at the northern edge of this modern landscape, situated along the border of Whitley and Allen Counties. The map reveals the suburban expansion of Fort Wayne stretching westward, with established residential enclaves like Timbercrest, Ellisville, and Liberty Hills filling the southeastern quadrant. This suburban growth intersects with a complex drainage network that historically defined this part of Indiana, including the Little River and the Graham McCulloch Ditch.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key burial sites preserved within the shifting landscape, from the Saint Patrick Roman Catholic Cem near the northern boundary to the Bayless Cem and Broxon Cem further south. These landmarks, along with Covington Memorial Gardens, provide stable points of reference amidst the newer subdivisions and trails like the Magnolia Creek Trl. The map illustrates the transition from the agricultural heritage of Gerigs Field to a modern residential corridor supported by prominent local water features like Covington Lake and Kekionga Shores Lake.
