About this map

Big Walnut Creek winds through the heart of this Putnam County landscape, creating a deeply dissected terrain that defines the local geography. The area is anchored by several small settlements including Reelsville, Manhattan, and Pleasant Gardens, which sit along the primary east-west transportation corridors. This modern record illustrates how contemporary infrastructure, such as the dense network of county roads like W Co Rd 500 S, overlays the traditional agricultural and topographical patterns of the region.

Genealogists can find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, including Hutcheson Cem, Lower Boone Cem, and Matkin Cem. Natural features such as the prominent Fern Cliff and Indian Ridge provide a clear sense of the area's elevation changes, while smaller water bodies like Greyhound Lake and Thomas Lake dot the periphery. The map also traces various tributaries like Maiden Run and Deer Creek, showing the intricate drainage system feeding into the larger creek valley.
