About this map

The St Joseph River and its tributary Cedar Creek define the geography of this northeast Indiana landscape as suburban expansion begins to reach out from Fort Wayne. The northern reaches of the city are visible at the bottom of the map, featuring residential developments like Concordia Gardens and Sunnybrook Acres near the campus of Concordia Senior College. Further north, the river is harnessed by a Spillway to create the Cedarville Reservoir, which borders the established communities of Leo and Cedarville.

Smaller rural settlements and family landmarks like Ely and the Viberg Chapel sit among a grid of section-line roads, including Gump Road and Hursh Road. Local heritage is well-preserved through several historic church sites, such as Robinson Chapel and St Michaels Cem. Near the confluence of the waterways, the Crosier House of Studies and several schools like Twp Central Sch reflect the institutional growth of Allen County during the mid-twentieth century.
