About this map

Waterloo serves as the primary municipal center in this section of DeKalb County, where the intersection of regional thoroughfares and local streets like W Maple St and N Center St define the community layout. To the west, the smaller settlement of Sedan sits along the roadway, illustrating the historic distribution of villages across the Indiana landscape.

The hydrology of the area is heavily managed, characterized by an extensive network of drainage features such as McCullough Ditch, Swartz Ditch, and Peckhart Ditch. These man-made channels support the surrounding agricultural land while connecting natural water bodies like Cedar Lake and Lintz Lake. The course of Cedar Cr winds through the eastern portion of the map, alongside numerous other ditches like Dibbling Ditch and Matson Ditch, which reveal the long-term engineering required to maintain the region's productive farm fields.
