2019 Map of Bartlettsville

About this map

Bartlettsville sits at the heart of this landscape where the undulating terrain of Ramsey Ridge meets the drainage of Little Salt Creek. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are defined by the Hoosier National Forest and the southernmost tip of Monroe Lake, illustrating the intersection of managed timberlands and water resources in Lawrence County. To the south, the city of Bedford begins to emerge, anchored by landmarks such as Breckenridge Cem. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by small settlements like Heltonville, Chapel Hill, and Coveyville, each connected by a network of hollows and ridges. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous family-named burial sites, including Tanksley Cem and Hawkins Cem, which are tucked away along watercourses like Pleasant Run and Leatherwood Creek. This 2019 survey documents the contemporary footprint of these historic crossroads and the persistent small-town character of the Indiana uplands.
