2013 Map of Wingate

About this map

Wingate serves as the primary crossroads in this rural Montgomery County landscape, where state routes meet a grid of well-defined section roads like N New Richmond Rd. The drainage patterns of the region are a mix of natural wandering streams and managed agricultural waterways, including Joseph Ludlow Ditch and Charles Ludlow Ditch. These ditches underscore the transition of the northern Indiana prairie into productive farmland. To the southeast, the small settlement of Elmdale sits near Clarkson Ditch, while the northern portion of the map is defined by the headwaters of Big Shawnee Cr and Little Shawnee Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural layout of the area, with numerous small runs such as Turkey Run, Mud Run, and Dry Run cutting through the fields toward larger drainage systems like N Fork Coal Cr.
