2016 Map of Elwood

About this map

Elwood and its surrounding agricultural outskirts in Madison and Tipton counties appear here during the mid-2010s, showing a landscape defined by its grid of rural roads and an extensive network of managed waterways. The city center is surrounded by satellite developments such as West Elwood, South Elwood, and College Corner, while the small community of Dundee sits to the east. The terrain is heavily modified for drainage, as evidenced by the numerous named channels like Hoppenrath Ditch, Todd Ditch, and McClure Ditch that feed into Big Duck Cr. Local history is preserved through several well-marked burial grounds, including Waymire Cem and Saint Josephs Cem, alongside the contemporary Sunset Memorial Park. This survey captures the region's enduring character as a Midwestern hub where town life and industrial-scale drainage systems meet on the Indiana plains.
