==Geography== The low rolling hills of Wells County have been deforested and are now completely devoted to agriculture and urban development. The [[Wabash River]] flows to the northwest, draining the central and upper part of the county, while the lower part is drained by the [[Salamonie River]], also flowing to the northwest.<ref>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wells+County,+IN/@40.6154232,-85.3529912,7459m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x8815968ddd0f3b01:0x8dfac4df7015d74a!8m2!3d40.7778348!4d-85.1894045 ''Wells County IN'' (Google Maps, accessed 6 August 2020)]</ref> The highest point on the terrain ({{convert|935|ft|m|abbr=off|disp=x|/|sp=us}} ASL) is an isolated rise on the county's south borderline with Jay County, one-half mile (0.8 km) east of the NE corner of Blackford County.<ref>[https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=23020 ''Wells County High Point, Indiana'' (PeakBagger.com, accessed 6 August 2020)]</ref> According to the 2010 census, the county has a total area of {{convert|370.25|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|368.09|sqmi}} (or 99.42%) is land and {{convert|2.16|sqmi}} (or 0.58%) is water.<ref name=DC/> ===Adjacent counties=== {{div col|colwidth=30em}} * [[Allen County, Indiana|Allen County]] - north * [[Adams County, Indiana|Adams County]] - east * [[Jay County, Indiana|Jay County]] - southeast * [[Blackford County, Indiana|Blackford County]] - south * [[Grant County, Indiana|Grant County]] - west * [[Huntington County, Indiana|Huntington County]] - northwest {{div col end}} ===City and towns=== {{div col|colwidth=25em}} * [[Bluffton, Indiana|Bluffton]] (city/county seat) * [[Markle, Indiana|Markle]] (town; partly in [[Huntington County, Indiana|Huntington County]]) * [[Ossian, Indiana|Ossian]] (town) * [[Poneto, Indiana|Poneto]] (town - named Worthington from 1871 to 1881) * [[Uniondale, Indiana|Uniondale]] (town) * [[Vera Cruz, Indiana|Vera Cruz]] (town) * [[Zanesville, Indiana|Zanesville]] (town; partly in [[Allen County, Indiana|Allen County]]) {{div col end}} ===Unincorporated communities=== {{div col|colwidth=16em}} * [[Craigville, Indiana|Craigville]] * [[Curryville, Indiana|Curryville]] * [[Dillman, Indiana|Dillman]] * [[Domestic, Indiana|Domestic]] * [[Five Points, Wells County, Indiana|Five Points]] * [[Greenville, Wells County, Indiana|Greenville]] * [[Greenwood, Wells County, Indiana|Greenwood]] * [[Jeff, Indiana|Jeff]] * [[Keystone, Indiana|Keystone]] * [[Kingsland, Indiana|Kingsland]] * [[Liberty Center, Indiana|Liberty Center]] * [[McNatts, Indiana|McNatts]] * [[Mount Zion, Indiana|Mount Zion]] * [[Murray, Indiana|Murray]] * [[North Oaks, Indiana|North Oaks]] * [[Nottingham, Indiana|Nottingham]] * [[Petroleum, Indiana|Petroleum]] * [[Phenix, Indiana|Phenix]] * [[Reiffsburg, Indiana|Reiffsburg]] * [[Riverside, Wells County, Indiana|Riverside]] * [[Rockford, Wells County, Indiana|Rockford]] * [[Tocsin, Indiana|Tocsin]] * Toll Gate Heights * [[Travisville, Indiana|Travisville]] * [[Wellsburg, Indiana|Wellsburg]] {{div col end}} ===Townships=== {{div col|colwidth=18em}} * [[Chester Township, Wells County, Indiana|Chester]] * [[Harrison Township, Wells County, Indiana|Harrison]] * [[Jackson Township, Wells County, Indiana|Jackson]] * [[Jefferson Township, Wells County, Indiana|Jefferson]] * [[Lancaster Township, Wells County, Indiana|Lancaster]] * [[Liberty Township, Wells County, Indiana|Liberty]] * [[Nottingham Township, Wells County, Indiana|Nottingham]] * [[Rockcreek Township, Wells County, Indiana|Rockcreek]] * [[Union Township, Wells County, Indiana|Union]] {{div col end}} ===Major highways=== {{div col|colwidth=25em}} * [[File:I-69.svg|20px]] [[Interstate 69 in Indiana|Interstate 69]] * [[File:US 224.svg|20px]] [[U.S. Route 224 (Indiana)|U.S. Route 224]] * [[File:indiana 1.svg|20px]] [[Indiana State Road 1|State Road 1]] * [[File:indiana 3.svg|20px]] [[Indiana State Road 3|State Road 3]] * [[File:indiana 116.svg|20px]] [[Indiana State Road 116|State Road 116]] * [[File:indiana 124.svg|20px]] [[Indiana State Road 124|State Road 124]] * [[File:indiana 201.svg|20px]] [[Indiana State Road 201|State Road 201]] * [[File:indiana 218.svg|20px]] [[Indiana State Road 218|State Road 218]] * [[File:indiana 301.svg|20px]] [[Indiana State Road 301|State Road 301]] {{div col end}}
