2013 Map of Middlebury

About this map

Middlebury serves as the focal point of this Elkhart County landscape, where the Little Elkhart River winds through a terrain defined by established agricultural operations and water management. The map reveals an intricate network of drainage systems, including Mather Ditch, York Township Ditch, and Love Joy Ditch, which support the region's productive farmlands. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the rural economy of York Township, identifying specific commercial and family agricultural sites such as Culver Duck Farms, Smeltzer Farms, and Crystal Valley Dairy Farm. To the north, the small community of Vistula sits near the state line, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle is dotted with natural water bodies like Stone Lake, Brokesha Lake, and Hunter Lake. The transition from the town’s residential streets to the surrounding dairy and specialty farms illustrates the enduring character of northern Indiana’s agrarian heartland.
