Fort Wayne is in the [[East North Central States|East North Central region]] of the [[Midwestern United States]], in [[Northern Indiana|northeastern Indiana]], {{convert|18|mi|km}} west of [[Ohio]] and {{convert|50|mi|km}} south of [[Michigan]]. According to the 2010 census, Fort Wayne has a total area of {{convert|110.834|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which {{convert|110.62|sqmi|sqkm|2}} (or 99.81%) is land and {{convert|0.214|sqmi|sqkm|2}} (or 0.19%) is water.<ref name="census-g001">{{cite web |url=http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_SF1/G001/1600000US1825000 |title=G001 - Geographic Identifiers - 2010 Census Summary File 1 |access-date=July 28, 2015 |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |archive-url=https://archive.today/20200213041401/http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_SF1/G001/1600000US1825000 |archive-date=February 13, 2020 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Topography===
[[File:Three Rivers, Fort Wayne, Indiana.JPG|thumb|The St. Marys River (left) and St. Joseph River (right) converge to form the Maumee River (foreground).]]

For a regional [[summit (topography)|summit]], the city is situated on flat land characterized by little topographical relief, a result of the [[Wisconsin glaciation|Wisconsin glaciation episode]].<ref name=Geological>{{cite book |last1=Hill |first1=Christopher |title=Geological Framework and Glaciation of the Eastern Area |date=2006 |publisher=Boise State University}}</ref> Receding [[glacier]]s eroded the land, depositing an evenly distributed layer of sediment during the [[last glacial period]]. The most distinguishable topographical feature is [[Cedar Creek Canyon (Indiana)|Cedar Creek Canyon]], just north of the city proper near [[Huntertown, Indiana|Huntertown]].<ref name=Geological/> The [[Fort Wayne Moraine]] follows two of the city's three rivers: the [[St. Marys River (Indiana)|St. Marys]] and [[St. Joseph River (Maumee River)|St. Joseph]]. The two rivers converge to form the [[Maumee River|Maumee]], which eventually empties into [[Lake Erie]]. Land east of the moraine includes the former [[Great Black Swamp]], a [[lacustrine plain]] formed by [[Glacial Lake Maumee]]. The [[Little River (Indiana)|Little River]] flows southwest of Fort Wayne, a tributary of the [[Wabash River]], and remnant of the [[Maumee Torrent]].

Fort Wayne is situated on the [[Saint Lawrence River Divide]], a [[continental divide]] separating the [[Great Lakes Basin]] from the [[Gulf of Mexico]] watershed.

The most important geographical feature of the area is the short distance over land between the Three Rivers system, which eventually flows to the Atlantic, and the Wabash system, which eventually flows to the Gulf of Mexico. This came to be the "portage" or carrying place, over which travelers could transport their cargoes from one system to the next. This natural crossroads attracted the Native Americans for thousands of years. It later attracted the European explorers and traders and the American pioneer settlers who continued to develop the area as a transportation and communications center. Chief Little Turtle of the Miami Nation expressed its importance eloquently at the treaty of Greenville in 1795 when he called it "that glorious gate...through which all the words of our chiefs had to pass through from north to south and from east to west".

Fort Wayne's urban tree canopy is 29 percent, double the state average of 14.5 percent<ref name=Trees>{{cite web |url=http://www.in.gov/dnr/forestry/files/fo-FinalINUTCSummaryRep.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140902120343/http://www.in.gov/dnr/forestry/files/fo-FinalINUTCSummaryRep.pdf |archive-date=September 2, 2014 |url-status=live |title=Assessing and Addressing Indiana Urban Tree Canopy |publisher=Indiana Department of Natural Resources |date=October 2011 |access-date=June 14, 2013}}</ref> and above the national average of 27.1 percent.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.deeproot.com/blog/blog-entries/tree-cover-how-does-your-city-measure-up |title=Tree Cover % – How Does Your City Measure Up? |publisher=Deeproot.com |date=April 25, 2010 |access-date=June 14, 2013}}</ref> The canopy is decreasing, notably from development and the [[emerald ash borer infestation]].<ref name=Trees/> Fort Wayne has been designated a [[Tree City USA]] since 1990.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fortwayneparks.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=65&Itemid=98 |title=Awards & Accomplishments |publisher=Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation |access-date=June 14, 2013}}</ref>

Historically, Fort Wayne has been divided into four unofficial quadrants: northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest. Calhoun Street divides the southwest and southeast, while the [[St. Joseph River (Maumee River)|St. Joseph River]] divides the northwest and northeast quadrants. The [[Maumee River]] separates the northeast and southeast, while portions of the [[St. Marys River (Indiana)|St. Marys River]] and [[Chicago, Fort Wayne and Eastern Railroad]] separate the northwest and southwest quadrants.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cityoffortwayne.org/images/stories/mayors_office/docs/quadrants.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140629011631/http://www.cityoffortwayne.org/images/stories/mayors_office/docs/quadrants.pdf |archive-date=June 29, 2014 |url-status=live |title=Neighborhood Quadrant Map |publisher=City of Fort Wayne |access-date=July 29, 2013}}</ref>

Fort Wayne's early 20th century development was influenced by the [[City Beautiful movement]] and centered on a [[Fort Wayne Park and Boulevard System Historic District|park and boulevard plan]] conceived by [[urban planner]] [[Charles Mulford Robinson]] in 1909 and finalized by [[landscape architect]] [[George Kessler]] in 1912. The master plan proposed a network of parkways and boulevards connecting the city's three rivers and Spy Run Creek to dozens of neighborhoods and parks. Several parks were designed by noted landscape architect [[Arthur Asahel Shurcliff]]. Much of the original plan was implemented by 1955. In 2010, the Fort Wayne Park and Boulevard System was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]], consisting of 11 public parks, four parkways, and ten boulevards, covering {{convert|1,883|acres|ha|0}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.in.gov/dnr/historic/files/hp-FortWayneParks.pdf |title=Fort Wayne Parks and Boulevard System |publisher=City of Fort Wayne |access-date=May 10, 2014 |archive-date=September 1, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140901140322/http://www.in.gov/dnr/historic/files/hp-FortWayneParks.pdf |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cityoffortwayne.org/latest-news/1935-parks-boulevard-system-now-on-national-historic-register.html |title=Parks, boulevard system now on National Historic Register |publisher=City of Fort Wayne |access-date=May 10, 2014}}</ref>

===Rivers===
Since at least the early 20th century, Fort Wayne has maintained a [[combined sewage overflow]] program, which has resulted in the city routinely discharging untreated human waste, raw sewage from businesses and homes, toxic waste from industrial sites, and agricultural runoff into all three rivers in a number of locations, particularly during heavy rainfall events.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 25, 2021 |title=Combined Sewers {{!}} Fort Wayne City Utilities |url=https://utilities.cityoffortwayne.org/sewer-system/combined-sewer-overflow |access-date=July 29, 2023 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=January 25, 2021 |title=CSO Notification {{!}} Fort Wayne City Utilities |url=https://utilities.cityoffortwayne.org/sewer-system/cso-notifications |access-date=July 29, 2023 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Re: 2022 CSO Great Lakes Public Notification Plan Annual Report |url=https://utilities.cityoffortwayne.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/City-of-Fort-Wayne-Great-Lakes-CSO-Public-Notification-Annual-Report-2022.pdf}}</ref> However, as of 2023, a several million dollar citywide sewage overflow tunnel project is set to be completed, among additional efforts, such as a $135 million investment from the city into [[rain garden]]s, to prevent further discharge into the rivers.<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 18, 2023 |title=What are raingardens?
