About this map

Greencastle serves as the focal point of this Putnam County landscape, dominated by the campus of DePauw University and the surrounding residential patterns of Fox Ridge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Walnut Creek, which is crossed by several named structures including the Bakers Camp Covered Bridge and Pinhook Bridge. This topography reveals a rural Indiana transition where agricultural land meets institutional growth, anchored by the Putnam County Airport and the smaller settlement of Fillmore to the east.

Local history is preserved in a network of family and community burial grounds, such as Randel Cemetery, Wesley Chapel Cemetery, and Forest Hill Cemetery. To the north, the small community of Cary and the Brick Chapel church mark the historic road corridors. The map also detail industrial and environmental modifications like the Albin Pond Dam and the Quarry Pond, indicating the area's long-standing relationship with its water resources and stone extraction.
