SYSTEM NO. 4
Spy RUN CREEK AND 'TRIBUTARIES
General Comments
The watershed drained by Stream System No. 4 consists ·of 15.27
square miles in the west-central portion of Allen County.
Located at the northwest edge of Ft. Wayne, this watershed is
about 5 miles long (north to south) and ranges up to 4 miles
wide (east to west). Spy Run Creek is the main stream of System
No. 4 and outlets into the St. Marys River. Lowther-Newhaus
Ditch collects water from the western part of the watershed and
empties into Spy Run Creek near Franke Park.
Land use is varied over the watershed. Downstream of California
Road the land use is almost entirely devoted to residential,
commercial, and industrial uses with the exception of the Franke Park
area. The area between California Road and 1-69 is largely indus-trial
and commercial. North of 1-69 much of the land remains
as farmland, however, part of this area is becoming residential
in the form of mobile home parks and string type home develop-ments.
Curve number 82 was used throughout the watershed for
the flood routings.
Nearly 12 miles of System No. 4 streams were studied in preparation
of this document. Measurement of flooded areas from ~xhibit
B, Flood Hazard Areas ,Maps, shows that approximately 630 acres
