About this map

The Elkhart River corridors and the established city of Goshen define this portion of Elkhart County. In this mid-2010s landscape, the city's residential and commercial core is surrounded by historic outposts like Waterford Mills and Bainter Town. The presence of several family and community burial grounds, such as Studebaker Cem, Cripe Cem, and Elkhart Prairie Cem, provides a clear view of the area's pioneer and generational roots.

Academic and transportation infrastructure is prominent, with the Goshen Coll campus located near the city center and the Goshen Municipal Airport occupying a significant tract to the southeast. Water management and drainage are central to the landscape, evidenced by the extensive network of ditches like Hoover Ditch and Rock Run Cr, which feed into the larger river system and reservoirs such as Goshen Dam Pond. The map also captures the southern settlements of New Paris and Benton, where the terrain transitions into a more open, drainage-controlled agricultural pattern.
