2010 Map of Elwood

About this map

Elwood serves as the primary hub in this central Indiana landscape, surrounded by a network of smaller communities including South Elwood, West Elwood, and the outlying settlement of Leisure. The grid-like agricultural roads are interrupted by the meandering courses of Big Duck Creek and Little Duck Creek, which drain the flat terrain. Local genealogists will find significant detail in the multiple burial grounds, such as Carr Cemetery, Waymire Cemetery, and Saint Josephs Cemetery, which are scattered between the town center and the rural periphery. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-defined, showing the Elwood Airport south of the city and the proximity of Dundee to the east. This survey documents the intersection of rural heritage and municipal development, where historic names like College Corner persist alongside modern landmarks like Sunset Memorial Park.
