2019 Map of Butler East

About this map

Butler anchors the western edge of this landscape where the Indiana and Ohio state lines meet, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural plains. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage engineering, including the Auford Ditch, Streeter Ditch, and Mary Metcalf Ditch, which channel water toward the Saint Joseph River in the southeast. This intricate system of ditches reflects the intensive land management required for the region's farming economy. Small, scattered settlements like Artic and Stafford Center provide local points of interest for those tracing family roots in the northeast corner of DeKalb County.
