Book Title: Counties Of Warren, Benton, Jasper And Newton, Indiana

DRAINAGE.

   The entire county is within the valley of the Wabash, which river forms the
southeastern boundary. Big Pine Creek, the most important intersecting stream,
enters the county in Adams Township from the north, thence flows southwesterly
across Pine Township, thence southeasterly through Liberty, emptying into the
Wabash at Attica. Little Pine Creek flows south through Medina and the eastern
part of Warren. Kickapoo Creek rises in Medina, flows across southeastern Adams
and across western Warren, with a general course of south-southwest. Mud Pine
Creek drains all of western Pine Township and eastern Prairie, and joins Big
Pine Creek near the northern line of Liberty. Rock Creek rises in Liberty and
flows south-southeast, forming the boundary between Washington and Pike
Townships. Redwood Creek rises in Jordan, crosses Steuben and Pike and reaches
the Wabash with a southeast course. Opossum Run has its source in Steuben,
thence it flows southeast across Kent and Mound, into the Wabash. Jordan Creek
drains southern Prairie and Northern Jordan, and flows southwest into Vermillion
River in Illinois. Gopher Creek drains western Kent and the greater portion of
Mound, and joins the Wabash in Vermillion County. A few smaller streams, such as
Dry Creek, Fall Branch, Little Creek, Coal Run, Hall's Branch, Salt's Run, West
Kickapoo Creek and Chesapeake Run have been properly christened.
