2010 Map of Churubusco

About this map

Churubusco serves as the primary hub in this Whitley County landscape, where the town's geometry is defined by the intersection of several regional roads. The surrounding terrain is a complex hydrologic network, with the Eel River and its numerous tributaries and man-made channels like Maloney Ditch, Johnson Drain, and Churubusco Branch sculpting the agricultural fields. This 2010 survey reveals a land deeply tied to its lineage, evidenced by a high density of small family or community burial grounds, including Jeffries Cemetery and Watterson Cemetery. To the north, Blue Lake and Devils Lake create a distinct recreational and natural pocket, while Lake Everett anchors the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map details an era of modern rural life where historical drainage patterns continue to dictate the placement of farms and transit corridors like Old Trail Rd.
