Calculate current at arbitrary point in a surface.

If I have a copper sheet, some rectangle say, and I connect opposite diagonal corners to a battery (naturally with a resistor in there) then can one calculate the current flow at different points in the sheet?

How could one calculate the current moving past some arbitrary point? Can one treat this as some kind of resistor array? can we use calculus to determines some kind of function here?

The problem is discussed here a bit too:
