About this map

Greencastle serves as the focal point of this Putnam County landscape, defined by the prominent campus of Depauw University and the historic Putnam County Courthouse. The city is surrounded by a network of recreational paths, including the Vandalia Trail and the Greencastle/Fillmore Path, which follow former rail corridors toward the community of Fillmore. North of the city, the terrain is shaped by the winding course of Big Walnut Creek and its many tributaries like Bledsoe Br and Snoddy Br.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Wesley Chapel Cem in the northeast to Forest Hill Cem near the city center. Smaller settlements like Brick Chapel and Fox Ridge dot the outskirts, while industrial and civic features such as the Quarry Pond and the Putnam County Regional Airport illustrate the modern infrastructure. The map also captures numerous family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds like Mount Pleasant Cem and Randel Cem, providing a detailed view of the county's settled history.
