2022 Map of Churubusco

About this map

Churubusco serves as the primary hub in this northern Indiana landscape, where the town street grid transitions into a dense network of agricultural ditches and small glacial lakes. The terrain is defined by the winding path of the Eel River and the significant presence of Lake Everett to the south. Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the rural sections, including Eel River Cem, Riverview Cem, and Watterson Cem. The northern portion of the map is dominated by a chain of water bodies including Blue Lake and Devils Lake, linked by a complex system of managed waterways like Maloney Ditch and Duglay Ditch. This drainage network, including the Solon Ditch and Seegar Ditch, illustrates the extensive land reclamation and management necessary for the local agricultural economy that surrounds settlements like Green Field.
