About this map

Beanblossom and Spearsville anchor a landscape defined by the branching waterways of northern Brown County. This 2013 survey reveals a geography shaped by the drainage of North Fork Beanblossom Cr and North Fork Salt Cr, where human settlement follows the narrow ridges and creek bottoms. The area is characterized by numerous small reservoirs and residential lake communities, including Lamb Lake, Earlham Lake, and the larger Sweetwater Lake to the east.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks and hollows that reflect generations of local residence, such as Rhude Hollow, Pence Hollow, and Wolfpen Hollow. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Bearwallow Hill and Zion Hill, while smaller settlements such as Gatesville and Peoga serve as local crossroads. The map details a complex network of rural roads, including Tuley Trce and Albert Johnson Rd, connecting the scattered homesteads and woodland tracts of this southern Indiana region.
