2019 Map of Foraker

About this map

Goshen and the surrounding agricultural townships define this corner of Elkhart County, where a dense network of drainage ditches—including Fulmer Ditch, Hoke Ditch, and Shaffer Ditch—manages the low-lying terrain. The landscape is marked by several small rural hubs such as Foraker, Southwest, and Midway, along with the eastern edge of Wakarusa. This area is particularly significant for genealogical research due to the high density of family and community burial grounds. Unique distinctions are made between the Yellow Creek Brick Cem and the Yellow Creek Frame Cem, while other family-named sites like Wenger Cem, Stutsman Cem, and Bull Cem reflect the long-standing settlement patterns of the region. The Elkhart River clips the northeast corner, while the Mapleheart Trail provides a modern recreational link through this historic farming district.
