2019 Map of Fort Wayne West

About this map

Fort Wayne and its western suburbs are defined by the convergence of the Saint Marys River and the Maumee River, where industrial transit and residential growth meet. The landscape is carved by an extensive network of drainage ditches such as Junk Ditch and Flaugh Ditch, reflecting the historical effort to manage the local water table for development. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the community of Waynedale sits near the Prairie Grove Cem and Saint Johns Lutheran Cem, while the Norfolk Southern railroad line cuts through the urban grid. Subdivisions like Indian Village and North Highland show the mid-century expansion of the city footprint. Further west, more modern developments like Covington Dells and Brierwood Hills border the Buckner Farm Trail, illustrating the shift from the city's industrial river core toward more suburban environments.
