About this map

The rugged boundary between Monroe and Lawrence counties is defined by the winding course of Salt Creek as it flows south from the Monroe Reservoir. This landscape is a patchwork of small agricultural clearings and dense timber within the Hoosier National Forest. Communities such as Bartlettsville and Heltonville serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural routes like West Road and North Road.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including numerous family-named burial grounds like Covey Cem, Hawkins Cem, and Tankisley Cem. The social fabric of the late 1970s is further evidenced by local congregations at Donica Memorial Ch and Pleasant Run Ch, along with educational centers such as Township Sch. Industrial activity is marked by a Quarry near the southern edge of the map, illustrating the region's reliance on its natural limestone resources.
