About this map

Churubusco serves as the primary hub of this 1960s landscape, positioned along the Pennsylvania railroad line at the junction of several county roads. The surrounding terrain in both Whitley and Allen counties is defined by its water systems, notably the Eel River, Blue River, and the recreational waters of Blue Lake and Lake Everett. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural township structure, with numerous country churches such as Pleasant Hill Ch and Wesley Chapel scattered across the farmland.

Two significant historical markers, the La Balme Monument and the Eel River Fort Monument, signify the area's frontier past near the Eel River. Genealogists will find a dense network of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including Jeffries Cem, Watterson Cem, and Concord Cem, reflecting the generations of settlement in Smith and Eel River townships before the modernization of the local road network.
