2019 Map of Hartford City West

About this map

Hartford City anchors this portion of Blackford County, where the industrial grid of the city meets the agricultural landscape of east-central Indiana. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage canals and creeks, such as Little Walnut Creek and Fiddler Ditch, which support the region's productive farmland. The area around Shamrock Lakes provides a contrast to the geometric section lines, showing a more complex hydrographic pattern near the southern border with Delaware County. For genealogists and local historians, several rural burial grounds are documented, including Shiloh Cemetery and the Elizabethtown Cemetery near the Mississinewa River. Smaller communities like Upland and Matthews are visible along the western edge, illustrating the historic settlement patterns that evolved around local transit and the regional river system.
