2019 Map of Elberfeld

About this map

The town of Elberfeld serves as the focal point of this southwestern Indiana landscape, where the borders of Gibson, Warrick, and Vanderburgh counties converge. This modern survey illustrates a region defined by its complex drainage network and historic transportation corridors. The path of the historic Wabash and Erie Canal is still discernible as it cuts through the terrain near Buckskin, paralleling contemporary routes like the Bluegrass Cr. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, marked by numerous burial sites such as Northview Cem, Zion Cem, and Williams Cem. The topography is generally low-lying, characterized by extensive wetlands and water bodies including Pigeon Creek, Warrens Lake, and Bell Conservation Lake. A prominent local landmark, Lost Hill, rises above the surrounding flats east of the intersection of W State Rd 68 and the Interstate highway, providing a distinct geographic marker in this agricultural and industrial setting.
