About this map

The confluence of the Saint Joseph River and the Elkhart River anchors this 2013 survey of Elkhart and its surrounding residential developments. The urban core gives way to several distinct communities and neighborhoods such as Greenleaf Manor, Garden Village, and De Camp Gardens, illustrating the suburban character of the region in the early 21st century. To the south, the settlement of Dunlap is clearly defined along the arterial roads leading toward the Elkhart County Landfill.

Water management and drainage are central to this landscape, as seen in the network of ditches like Mather Ditch and the Osolo Township Ditch that connect the wetlands and lakes north of the city. Significant recreational and geographical landmarks including Simonton Lake, Heaton Lake, and the grounds of the Elkhart Municipal Airport provide essential orientation points for local historians and researchers tracking the modern footprint of Elkhart County.
