2010 Map of Garrett

About this map

The railroad-aligned town of Garrett and the smaller settlements of Avilla and Laotto anchor this corner of Indiana during the early 21st century. The map reveals a landscape defined by an extensive drainage network, including Little Cedar Creek, Sycamore Creek, and Willow Creek, alongside numerous man-made ditches like Yarde Ditch and Hinkley Ditch. This intricate water management system underscores the agricultural heritage of the region. Local history is preserved through several family and community burial sites, such as Embrey Cemetery and Swan Cemetery. Transport and infrastructure are represented by Shenk Airport and the residential expansion around Holiday Lakes. The grid of county roads connects older clusters like Altona, Swan, and Butler Center, showing the continued relevance of these rural hubs as the surrounding area transitioned from a purely agrarian economy to one more integrated with the larger regional centers.
