2013 Map of South Whitley East

About this map

Tunker and Washington Center anchor this rural Indiana landscape, which is defined by a dense network of engineered drainage and small waterways. The geography is characterized by the meandering Eel River and its tributaries, including Stony Creek and Hurricane Creek. The presence of numerous named ditches, such as Williamson Ditch, Gable Ditch, and Lee Ditch, indicates a long-standing commitment to agricultural reclamation in Whitley County. These features, alongside small settlements like Luther along W State Road 114, illustrate the intersection of natural hydrology and human management. Genealogists and local historians can trace the local road system, including W Whitley Rd and W Henry Rd, which serves as the framework for the area's dispersed homesteads and farms.
