2013 Map of Gunder

About this map

The Turkey River winds through this section of Fayette County, carving a valley that defines the local topography and road network. In this 2013 landscape, the village of Elgin sits along the river's banks in the west, while the unincorporated community of Gunder anchors the northeastern highlands. The map reveals a highly structured grid of agricultural transit, where routes like Gunder Rd, Apple Rd, and Country Rd connect dispersed farmsteads across the rolling terrain. Tributaries such as Sand Cr and Deer Cr provide a natural drainage system for the surrounding fields. South of the river, the small settlement of Highland serves as a local landmark. This modern survey demonstrates how 19th-century settlement patterns, rooted in the river valley and upland farming, have persisted into the 21st century through a resilient network of secondary roads and named creeks.
