2016 Map of Butler West

About this map

Taylor Corner and the western outskirts of Butler define this DeKalb County landscape, where an extensive network of drainage infrastructure supports the region's agricultural productivity. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous named waterways, including John Smith Ditch, Haverstock Ditch, and Matson Ditch, which indicate a highly managed hydrologic environment. Small family or community burial grounds are scattered throughout the rural sections, such as Lutz Cem, Ridge Cem, and Krontz Cem, serving as critical markers for local genealogical research.
