2016 Map of Wingate

About this map

The town of Wingate stands as the central hub of this West Central Indiana landscape, where the borders of Montgomery, Fountain, and Tippecanoe Counties converge. The topography is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, including the winding N Fork Coal Cr and Turkey Run. Family history is deeply rooted in the numerous rural burial grounds scattered throughout the townships, such as Meharry Cem, Wheeler Grove Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. To the southeast, the small settlement of Elmdale marks a junction near Clarison Ditch. The map illustrates a mature rural grid system where local roads like N Mountain Rd and Co Rd 800 W connect isolated farmsteads and historic family-named landmarks. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage infrastructure that reclaimed this fertile land, noted by the presence of the Joseph Ludlow Ditch and Charles Ludlow Ditch.
