About this map

The northern reaches of Fort Wayne anchor this survey, showing a landscape defined by the suburban expansion and the intricate drainage of Allen County. Historic small settlements like Wallen and Royville sit at the crossroads of a modernizing transportation network, while the aviation history of Smith Field remains a prominent landmark. The area is characterized by a high density of water management features, including the Eel River, Willow Creek, and numerous constructed channels like Geller Ditch and Shoaff Dawson Ditch, which drain the level terrain north of the city.

Local historians can find several burial grounds preserved amidst the growth, including Huntertown Cem, Bethel Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem. The map captures the meeting of established communities and newer residential developments such as Ludwig Park, reflecting the region's mid-2010s suburban character. From the headwaters of Spy Run Cr to the small-scale commerce at Dunn Mill, this map documents the persistent connection between the historical townships of t32n r11e and the urban core.
