About this map

Russellville serves as the primary hub in this northwestern Putnam County landscape, where a grid of rural roads connects several small, historic settlements. The area is defined by the winding course of Big Raccoon Cr, which feeds into the waters of Cecil M Harden Lake. Other notable communities situated along these backroads include Parkersburg, Raccoon, and Fincastle, many of which developed at the intersections of local county routes.

Aviation history is marked on the landscape by Durham Airport just east of the main town and 4 Winds Aerodrome to the south. The drainage patterns of the region are intricate, with numerous tributaries such as Byrd Br, Ramp Cr, and Peters Cr carving through the terrain. These watercourses and their valleys provide a clear look at the physical geography that shaped the early settlement patterns of Blakesburg and Morton, offering a detailed view of Indiana’s rural character in the early 21st century.
