1960 Map of Foraker

About this map

Yellow Creek winds through a landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and early rural infrastructure in this mid-century survey of Elkhart County. The map documents a dense network of local institutions, from the Bashor Childrens Home in the north to the settlement of Foraker in the south. The area is notable for its high concentration of country churches and family-named cemeteries, such as Bethel Ch, Wisler Ch, Wenger Cem, and Hoke Cem, which reflect the region's deep genealogical roots.
