About this map

The confluence of the Saint Joseph River and the Elkhart River anchors this urban landscape in Elkhart County, where the city of Elkhart extends across a network of historic waterways and drainage systems. This 2019 survey documents the dense residential development between the rivers and the northern lakes, including Greenleaf Manor and East Lake Estates. Local heritage is preserved in several major burial grounds, such as Rice Cem, Grace Lawn Cem, and Prairie Street Cem, which sit alongside established neighborhoods and industrial corridors.

Transportation infrastructure defines the modern movement through the region, from the heavy-duty roads like Co RD 17 and Co RD 6 to the dedicated recreational corridors of the Mapleheart Trail and various Bike Trail networks. The map also captures the suburban character of Dunlap and the northern edge of Goshen, illustrating how these communities have grown together along the river valley. To the north, Simonton Lake and Heaton Lake provide a distinct contrast to the grid-patterned streets of the city center.
