About this map

Wildcat Creek meanders through the heart of this Indiana landscape, anchoring a series of small settlements and rural crossroads. The town of Greentown serves as a primary hub, showing a structured grid of streets such as Main, Grant, and Walnut, while smaller communities like Jerome, West Liberty, and Phlox are scattered to the east and south. This map reflects a highly managed agricultural environment, evidenced by the extensive network of drainage features such as Brunk Ditch, Duncan Ditch, and Moon Beesley Ditch that lace the territory between Howard and Tipton counties.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy land use through numerous burial grounds, including Greenlawn Cem, Jerome Cem, and the Union Civil Cem near West Liberty. The presence of the Fowler Field Private Airport near Guy provides a modern contrast to the traditional farmsteads. The southern border follows the Howard and Tipton County line, where Mud Creek and Turkey Creek flow through the transition toward the northern edge of the Tipton plains.
