About this map

The industrial and residential growth of Elwood dominates this Madison County landscape, where the Norfolk and Western railroad corridor shapes the town's grid. Within the city limits, civic life is anchored by locations like City Hall, Mercy Hospital, and Wilkie High Sch. Beyond the dense core, the landscape transitions to a systematic grid of section roads like 1200 North Road, interspersed with smaller communities such as Dundee and Leisure.

The presence of the Treaty Indian Boundary line cutting diagonally across the terrain provides a historical layer to the drainage patterns of Duck Creek and Little Duck Creek. Cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the rural sections, including Union Valley Ch and Waymire Cem. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by the Elwood Airport, a Drive-in Theater, and the sprawling Settling Basin (Abandoned) on the western edge of the city.
