About this map

Churubusco serves as the primary hub of activity in this Northeast Indiana landscape, where the boundary between Whitley Co and Allen Co defines the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network, notably the Eel River and its various tributaries like Watterson Ditch and Johnson Ditch. Small water bodies such as Lake Everett, Blue Lake, and the ominously named Devils Lake are scattered throughout the glacial topography.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including Jeffries Cem, Concord Cem, and the Eel River Cem situated near the riverbanks. The survey also marks Tropia Airport to the northeast of the main settlement. The abundance of engineered waterways, such as Smith Ditch and Solon Ditch, illustrates the historical effort to manage the local wetlands for agricultural and residential use.
