About this map

Greencastle serves as the focal point of this Putnam County landscape, where the urban grid gives way to a network of winding creeks and historic crossings. The winding path of Big Walnut Creek dominates the central terrain, spanned by several named structures including the Bakers Camp Covered Bridge and Wildwood Bridge. These landmarks, along with Pinhook Bridge, Crow Bridge, and Houck Bridge, indicate the historical importance of waterway navigation and local transit between rural hubs.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the township, from the large Forest Hill Cemetery south of the city to smaller plots like Wesley Chapel Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Carmel Cem. The map also captures the modern infrastructure of the Putnam County Regional Airport and the Greencastle/Fillmore Pathway, illustrating the transition from 19th-century settlement patterns, such as those near Brick Chapel and Fillmore, to contemporary regional development.
