2016 Map of Van Buren

About this map

Van Buren and its surrounding agricultural townships reflect a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and small settlements in the heart of Grant County. This modern survey illustrates the transition from traditional farm tracts to residential developments like Brookhaven and Brookhaven Addition Lake near the western edge of the quadrangle. Significant watercourses, including the Mississinewa River and Walnut Creek, carve through the terrain, while the rural grid is dotted with local history markers such as the Masonic Cem and Burson Cem. The survey detail captures the convergence of historical crossroads communities like Landess, Hanfield, and the vanished-sounding Arcana, providing a comprehensive view of how regional transportation corridors such as Montpelier Pike and Interstate 69 have reshaped local connectivity between these established agricultural centers.
