2013 Map of Van Buren

About this map

Van Buren occupies the northeastern corner of this Grant County landscape, serving as a primary hub for a region defined by extensive drainage networks and small rural clusters. The agricultural character of the area is mapped through a dense web of man-made waterways like Pulley Ditch, Tinkle Ditch, and Monroe Ditch, which channel water toward natural courses such as Roods Run and Walnut Cr. These ditches represent the long-term engineering required to sustain productivity in the Indiana till plains. Scattered settlements and named crossroads like Landess, Hanfield, and Shadeland punctuate the grid, while recreational and residential features appear at Lincoln Country Club Lake and the Brookhaven Addition Lake. The southern portion of the map transitions into more residential development near Brookhaven, contrasted by quiet locales such as Friendly Corner and Arcana to the east.
