2011 Map of Brainard

About this map

Brainard stands as a focal point in this portion of Butler County, with its grid of residential streets centered on the Post Office and S Cleveland St. The surrounding agricultural landscape is defined by a strict section-line road network, including routes like 31 Rd and P Rd, which navigate around the natural drainages of Kezan Creek and Plum Creek. To the northwest, the edge of David City appears alongside Saint Marys Cemetery, marking the transition into more developed territory. Water management is a visible priority in this rural environment, evidenced by the multiple instances of the Vandenburg Dam and its associated Vandenburg Reservoir. The presence of both the David City Municipal Airport and the smaller Stava Airport suggests a landscape integrated into regional aviation networks despite its quiet, pastoral character.
