2010 Map of Beanblossom

About this map

Spearsville and Peoga anchor this rural Brown County landscape, defined by the intricate drainage of North Fork Beanblossom Creek and the North Fork Salt Creek. The area is characterized by numerous small, privately dammed water bodies, such as Little Fox Lake, Crestview Lake, and Earlham Lake, reflecting a mid-to-late 20th-century trend of creating residential and recreational impoundments within the deep hollows. Cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the wooded ridges, including the Zion Church near Zion Hill and several family-named burial grounds like Calvin Cemetery and Duncan Cemetery. Near the settlement of Beanblossom, the presence of Georgetown Cemetery suggests older community roots, while the winding paths of Bear Wallow Hill Rd and Sprunica Ridge Rd trace the local topography between prominent features like Bearwallow Hill and Panther Lick Ridge.
