About this map

The Saint Joseph River and the Little Elkhart River converge near the town of Bristol, anchoring a landscape defined by its waterways and agricultural heritage. This 2013 survey illustrates the developed corridor of Bristol alongside the more rural, named agricultural tracts such as Harmony Acre Farm, Hoobirk Farm, and Old Oak Farm. To the east, the settlement of Bonneyville Mills points to the area's early industrial history where water power once drove local commerce.

The map reveals a mix of residential growth and preserved drainage systems like Menges Ditch and Hildreth Ditch. Significant local landmarks include Hatfield Airport and smaller clusters such as Nibbyville and Lake Grange. These features, alongside bodies of water like Goose Pond, Dock Lake, and Wolf Lake, provide a detailed view of Elkhart County's modern layout while still preserving the names of the original farmsteads and milling sites that established the community.
