2026 · THE READING OF THE SIGNS
Read the shields in order and they give the whole file back: Lincolnway is State Road 933 — the Vistula Road of 1832, the Lincoln Highway of 1913, State Road 2 and US 33 in their turns, a state road today because the county twice refused to take it. McKinley Avenue is Business US 20, its signs outside the city reading plain US 20, on the line whose Elkhart County name is Toledo Road. The through highways, US 20 and US 31, run on the St. Joseph Valley Parkway along the southern fringe in Penn Township, serving the city at the Elm Road and Capital Avenue interchanges without entering it. Capital Avenue is State Road 331, from the parkway through the Toll Road to State Road 23 in Granger — the 1933 number on a 2013 expressway. State Road 23 rims the north at Granger. Dragoon Trail is a township-name survival on the south side, its dragoons dispelled and its trail underneath older than the republic. Main Street, which carried a state road for sixty years and carries none now, remains what the Lincoln Highway's surveyor said it was: the main street, intersecting all of it. The corridors' next change is not in any record reached; the map above is the map as it stands, and the gaps named in this section's note are the places it will be corrected from.
