About this map

The city of Auburn and the eastern edge of Garrett anchor this landscape, reflecting a region defined by its municipal growth and intricate drainage network. The DeKalb County Courthouse serves as a central landmark in Auburn, while Auburn Junction marks a key historical transit point just to the south. The surrounding terrain is heavily modified by an extensive system of waterways, including Peckhart Ditch, Garrett City Ditch, and Cecil Metcalf Ditch, which manage the low-lying geography of the DeKalb and Allen County borderlands.

Smaller settlements and rural communities like Saint Johns, New Era, and Hopewell are scattered across the township lines, offering significant detail for local history research. Genealogists can locate legacy sites such as Roselawn Cem and Woodlawn Cem. The presence of the De Kalb County Airport and the crossing of major county roads illustrate the modern infrastructure that has developed around these traditional Hoosier farming and rail centers.
