1992 Map of Butler West

About this map

Taylor Corner and Franklin Center anchor the rural landscape of northeastern Indiana in this detailed survey, where the township boundaries of Franklin, Wilmington, Grant, and Union meet. The terrain is defined by an extensive drainage network, including the Matson Ditch and Donnell Ditch, which support the agricultural character of the region. Transportation history is etched into the land via the Grand Army of the Republic Highway and several stretches of the Old Railroad Grade, tracing former transit corridors through the countryside near Butler. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local landmarks such as Norris Chapel and its cemetery, alongside scattered burial sites like Lutz Cem and Rude Cem. The small settlement of Moore sits at a rural crossroads, illustrating the persistence of established community names within the modern township system.
