1978 Map of Bartlettsville

About this map

Bartlettsville and its surrounding hill country are depicted here in the late 1970s, showing a landscape defined by the deep valleys of Salt Creek and Leatherwood Creek. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Hoosier National Forest, specifically the Pleasant Run unit, where narrow ridges like Ramsey Ridge and Dutch Ridge rise above the drainage of the Monroe Reservoir. The map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries and country churches, such as Donica Memorial Ch and Hawkins Cem, which are essential for genealogical research in this part of Lawrence County.
