2010 Map of Gas City

About this map

The Mississinewa River winds through the heart of this East Central Indiana landscape, anchoring the historical development of Gas City and Jonesboro. This early 21st-century record reveals a region defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, featuring an extensive network of named drainage systems like Galatia Ditch, Fowler Ditch, and Hyer Ditch. These waterways illustrate the modification of the natural prairie for farming, while the presence of Walnut Creek Cemetery, Riverside Cemetery, and Bethel Cemetery provides critical touchpoints for family historians and genealogists. To the north, Sports Lake and the Sports Lake Dam represent recreational development alongside the more traditional rural settlements of Fowlerton and Matthews. The map clearly delineates the convergence of local transit routes such as the Wheeling Pike with modern highway corridors, showcasing the area's evolution from a river-oriented economy to a modern transportation hub.
