New maps of Ohio watersheds are available in the Ball State University Libraries Geospatial Resources & Map Collection. The set of 20 maps published by the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District in 2002 was a gift from Ball State University alumnus Jacqueline Luzar.

The maps of various creeks in northeastern Ohio include land cover and land use statistics, a map of the community and community statistics, a topography map of the area, and a watershed map including roads and drainage networks showing pipes, culverts, and streams. The maps also include photographs of the area and an inset map of the watershed’s location in Ohio.

The watershed areas included are Abram Creek, Bakers Creek, Bear Creek, Big Creek, Brandywine Creek, Busby Ditch, Chippewa Creek, Dugway Brook, Euclid Creek (shown), Furnace Run, Hemlock Creek, Mill Creek, Nine Mile Creek, Plum Creek, Sagamore Creek, Shaw Brook, Tinkers Creek Main Branch, West Branch, West Creek, and Wood Creek.

These maps may be checked out individually and can be borrowed for two weeks or longer. For more information about using these maps for research and learning, please contact the GRMC at 765/285-1097.
