About this map

The railroad town of Garrett and its neighbor Altona anchor the northeastern landscape of this modern survey, where the dense street grids of W Quincy St and E Keyser St give way to the sprawling agricultural tracts of DeKalb and Noble counties. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of drainage infrastructure, including Hinkley Ditch, Yarde Ditch, and Diehl Ditch, which manage the low-lying lands around King Lake.

Rural life is marked by small crossroads settlements such as Laotto, Swan, and Cedar, each serving as a focal point for the surrounding farmsteads. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, ranging from Saint Marys Cem near Avilla to the more isolated Embrey Cem and Swan Cem. The southern edge of the sheet transitions into Allen County, following the paths of Black Cr and Willow Cr near the community of Ari.
