From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Big Blue River is a tributary of the Driftwood River, about 75 mi (120 km) long, in east-central Indiana in the United States. Via the Driftwood, White, Wabash and Ohio Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.
[edit] Course
The Big Blue rises in northeastern Henry County and flows generally southwestwardly through Rush, Hancock, Shelby and Johnson Counties, past the towns of New Castle, Knightstown, Carthage, Shelbyville and Edinburgh. It joins Sugar Creek to form the Driftwood River 1 mi (1.6 km) west of Edinburgh. At Shelbyville, it collects the Little Blue River.
