About this map

Elwood and its surrounding communities are positioned along the border of Madison and Tipton Counties, defining the transition between the dense residential grid of the city and the expansive agricultural landscape of central Indiana. The city's growth is anchored by its established street network and outskirts such as West Elwood and South Elwood, which are flanked by several significant burial grounds including Waymire Cem, Elwood Cem, and Saint Joseph Cem.

The rural drainage network is highly engineered, featuring numerous named waterways like Big Duck Cr, Little Duck Cr, and Hoppenrath Ditch that weave through the section lines. This 2022 survey captures the modern spatial organization of smaller outlying settlements like Leisure, Dundee, and College Corner, reflecting a region where the traditional township-and-range grid remains the primary skeleton for both modern transport and historical land tracts.
