2016 Map of Elberfeld

About this map

The town of Elberfeld serves as the focal point of this southwestern Indiana landscape, situated where the borders of Gibson, Warrick, and Vanderburgh Counties converge. This 2016 survey documents the enduring layout of the region, including the historic alignment of the Wabash and Erie Canal as it cuts through the northern sections near Buckskin. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the winding Pigeon Creek, Bluegrass Cr, and Hurricane Cr, which drain the low-lying areas surrounding Lost Hill. Genealogists will find a wealth of localized data through the placement of rural burial grounds such as Northview Cem, Zion Cem, Susett Cem, and Williams Cem near Wheatonville. The map also illustrates the transition from traditional agricultural lands to more modern industrial developments, notably the Industrial Park Dr corridor and the proximity of the Bell Conservation Lake, reflecting the area's ongoing evolution in land use.
