Main purpose of the work is correctly by creating the basin area completing the missing basin location information and correcting false location maps. In the manual determination according to the WGS84 system, the area of the Porsuk Creek Basin is 10829,92 km2 and 10830,25 km2 in the automatic determination. The basin is composed of 4 morphological sections in the form of Lower, Middle, Upper and Uppermost Section. The basin boundary problem is that a large area is not included in the Uppermost Section, and this area corresponds to ~414 km2 [~58000 football fields or 1,5 times the Gökçeada (Imbros)]. Although it is not mentioned in the geographical position information Bilecik province and Afyonkarahisar/İhsaniye is located within the basin area.
