About this map

Garrett and Avilla anchor the northern reaches of this DeKalb County landscape, showing the modern street grids of these established Indiana communities. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems such as Yarde Ditch, Hinkley Ditch, and Diehl Ditch, which support the agricultural productivity of the surrounding plains. These channels converge with natural waterways like Little Cedar Cr and Black Cr as they meander toward the south.

Smaller settlements and crossroads like Laotto, Swan, and Ari reflect the rural heritage of the region, situated along major transit corridors like Old State Hwy 3. To the east, the Holiday Lakes residential area provides a distinct contrast to the sprawling farmland. Local history enthusiasts can trace the legacy of smaller hubs such as Butler Center and Altona, which remain integrated into the fabric of the county's transportation and water management infrastructure.
