About this map

Little Walnut Creek and its many tributaries, including Leatherman Cr and Owl Cr, carve a complex drainage pattern through this section of Putnam County. The landscape is defined by the transition from the upland ridges of Bald Hill to the lower basins that now hold Glenn Flint Lake and Van Bibber Lake. These water bodies, along with Oakalla Lake to the south, represent significant modern hydrological modifications to the natural flow of the Big Walnut Creek watershed.

Rural life centers on small established clusters like Clinton Falls and Brunerstown, while the northwestern edge of Greencastle begins to appear in the southeast corner. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Little Walnut Cem, while more recent land use is reflected in the Depauw University Nature Park Trails Trl, showing how former industrial or agricultural lands have been repurposed for conservation and recreation.
