2010 Map of Elkhart

About this map

The Saint Joseph River and the Elkhart River converge in the heart of Elkhart, defining the city’s industrial and recreational layout in this 2010 survey. The Elkhart Hydro Dam stands as a primary landmark where these waters meet, marking a legacy of river-driven power. North of the city, residential growth extends toward Simonton Lake and Heaton Lake, while the outlying areas include established communities such as Dunlap and Garden Village. For those researching local families, the map clearly identifies several significant burial grounds, including Rice Cemetery, Grace Lawn Cemetery, and Prairie Street Cemetery. The landscape also shows the functional infrastructure of the era, from the Elkhart Municipal Airport in the west to the network of township ditches, such as the Osolo Township Ditch, that manage the region's drainage.
