About this map

Garrett and its neighboring rail-era settlements anchor this landscape where the boundaries of Noble, DeKalb, and Allen counties converge. The town of Avilla sits in the northwest corner, defined by its street grid and proximity to both the Avilla Cem and Saint Marys Cem. Moving southeast, the terrain transitions through small communities like Swan and Altona toward the more established residential blocks of Garrett, which features the notable Calvary Cem at its western edge.

Agricultural drainage is central to the land's character, managed through an extensive network of named waterways including Yarde Ditch, Hinkley Ditch, and Bilger Ditch. To the south near Laotto, the landscape becomes more varied with the Heinzerling Nature Preserve Trails and the residential clusters at Holiday Lakes. The presence of Butler Center and Ari further highlights the distributed nature of local history across this tri-county intersection.
