About this map

Clinton Falls and the rural surroundings of Putnam County are defined by the winding course of Little Walnut Cr and its various tributaries. This 2016 survey highlights a landscape where local history is preserved in its infrastructure, notably featuring the Collins Covered Bridge, Oakalla Covered Bridge, and Dunbar Covered Bridge. These structures cross the Big Walnut Creek and its branches, anchoring a network of county roads that connect small settlements like Brunerstown to the outskirts of Greencastle.

The terrain is marked by significant water bodies, including the substantial Glenn Flint Lake and Van Bibber Lake, which dominate the northern half of the quadrangle. For genealogists and local historians, the Little Walnut Cemetery and landmarks like Bald Hill provide specific points of reference for tracing family roots and land ownership in this part of Indiana. The map effectively captures the transition from the secluded drainage of Leatherman Creek and Jones Creek to the more developed edges of the county seat.
