2019 Map of Auburn

About this map

Auburn and Garrett anchor this 2019 survey of DeKalb County, Indiana, where the urban street grids meet an extensive network of agricultural drainage. The city of Auburn is particularly well-documented, featuring its rail heritage at Auburn Junction and its central community sites like Woodlawn Cem and Roselawn Cem. Between the population centers, the landscape is defined by the managed flow of water through engineered systems like the John Diehl Ditch and the Schmadel Ditch, which feed into the more natural path of Cedar Creek. Further south, the rural character is punctuated by smaller hamlets and crossroads such as Saint Johns, New Era, and Hopewell. The presence of the De-Kalb County Airport and the active CSX Transportation line reflects the area's continued role as a regional transit and logistics hub within the DeKalb and Allen County borderlands.
