2019 Map of Butler West

About this map

The western edge of Butler serves as a primary hub in this portion of DeKalb County, where the grid of city streets like W Main St and Depot St transitions into the agricultural drainage systems that define the surrounding landscape. The area is heavily marked by a complex network of man-made waterways, including John Smith Ditch, Teutsch Ditch, and Metcalf Ditch, which redirect water through the flat terrain of northeast Indiana. Small rural clusters like Taylor Corner and Moore dot the countryside, connected by an extensive system of county roads such as Co RD 16 and Co RD 40. Local aviation history is represented by Harrold Airport and the Walker/Rowe Waterloo Airport. For those researching family history, several local burial grounds are detailed, including Lutz Cem, Ridge Cem, and Krontz Cem, which often represent the earliest established points in the county's townships.
