About this map

Wingate and Elmdale serve as the primary focal points of this 2010 USGS topographic survey, situated within a productive agricultural landscape defined by an extensive grid of county roads. The terrain is drained by several watercourses including Big Shawnee Creek in the north and the North Fork Coal Creek which meanders through the central section. The area's drainage is further managed by the Charles Ludlow Ditch and Joseph Ludlow Ditch, reflecting the managed hydrology of Indiana farmland.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites across the quadrangle, such as Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Old Turkey Run Cemetery, and the family-named Meharry Cemetery. The map also captures several small aviation facilities, including Babcocks Airport and Meharry Ag Service Airport, indicating a landscape where private flight and agricultural service runways are integrated into the rural infrastructure.
