About this map

Waterloo and the northern edge of Auburn anchor this DeKalb County landscape, where the agricultural grid of the Indiana heartland is defined by a complex network of drainage infrastructure. Numerous watercourses, including Swartz Ditch, McCullough Ditch, and Beckhart Ditch, reveal how the terrain has been engineered to support the surrounding farmland. These engineered channels converge toward natural features like Cedar Cr and the waters of Cedar Lake.

Local history is preserved in small clusters of settlement such as Sedan and several rural burying grounds. Genealogists will find the locations of Cedar Lake Cem, Sedan Cem, and Tamarack Cem essential for tracing family roots in the townships of T35N R12E and T35N R13E. The map also captures the street-level detail of Waterloo, showing the orientation of Union St and N Wayne St as they intersect the regional transportation corridors.
