2016 Map of Greentown

About this map

Greentown sits at the northern end of this central Indiana landscape, where the street grid of W Walnut St and E Main St meets the riparian corridors of Wildcat Creek. The surrounding Howard County countryside is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage and small rural settlements including Jerome, Phlox, and West Liberty. The map documents a deeply rooted community landscape where family history is anchored by numerous burial grounds such as Union Civil Cem, Salem Cem, and New Hope Cem. The terrain is shaped by an extensive system of waterways, from the Kokomo Waterworks Reservoir Number Two in the northwest to the winding path of Mud Creek in the south. The southern portion of the sheet crosses into Tipton County, revealing a consistent pattern of section-line roads and named watercourses like Turkey Creek and Shockney Ditch that support the region's productive agricultural character.
