About this map

Greencastle serves as the focal point of this Putnam County landscape, where the historic campus of Depauw Univ meets the surrounding agricultural and riparian terrain. The map traces the winding course of Big Walnut Creek and its many tributaries like Deer Creek, Clear Creek, and Jones Cr. A network of rural bridges facilitates local movement, including the Bakers Camp Covered Bridge and the Pinhook Bridge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites such as Wesley Chapel Cem, Old Union Cem, and Mount Pleasant Cem. The transition from the urban grid of Greencastle to the outlying settlements of Brick Chapel and Fillmore illustrates the regional development pattern. Industrial and transportation features like the Putnam County Airport and Quarry Pond further define the economic use of the land in this central Indiana quadrangle.
