About this map

Millersburg sits at the heart of this landscape, serving as a hub for the agricultural community of eastern Elkhart County. This 2016 survey illustrates a meticulously organized grid of county roads and drainage systems that manage the low-lying terrain. Waterways like the Elkhart River and Stony Creek are supplemented by an extensive network of artificial channels, including McAllister Ditch, Boyer Ditch, and Long Ditch, which underscore the region's reliance on managed water for its productive farmland.

For those tracing family history, the map preserves the locations of several smaller burial grounds such as Miller Cem, Nisley Cem, and Brown Cem, often situated near the family farms they originally served. The border with LaGrange and Noble counties is clearly marked, showing the transition of local road naming conventions such as Co Rd 126 and W 200 S. Notable landmarks like Fish Lake and Clinton Union Cem provide additional points of reference for researchers exploring the rural heritage of this Indiana crossroads.
