2010 Map of Peru

About this map

The Wabash River and Mississinewa River converge at Peru, a regional hub defined by its grid layout and riverfront geography. This survey documents the north-central Indiana landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century, showing the transition from the dense street patterns of Ridgeview and Oakdale to the rural expanses of northern Miami County. To the north, the Eel River meanders through the settlements of Mexico, Denver, and Chili. The distribution of burial sites, such as Mount Hope Cemetery and Westlawn Cemetery, provides significant data for genealogical research. Aviation infrastructure is noted with Rush Strip Airport and Benner Field, while drainage features like Prairie Ditch reflect the managed agricultural hydrology of the region.
