1960 Map of Foraker

About this map

The settlement of Foraker and the surrounding rural townships of Union and Harrison reveal a landscape deeply defined by agricultural drainage and congregational life in the early 1960s. The terrain is intricately etched with a network of named waterways including Yellow Creek, Little Yellow Creek, and Shaffer Ditch, which support the productive farmland of Elkhart County. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally rich in religious and community landmarks, featuring numerous country churches such as German Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Inbody Ch.
