1962 Map of Beanblossom

About this map

The borderlands between Johnson and Brown Counties in the early 1960s are defined by a complex network of ridges and creek valleys, including Zion Hill and Bearwallow Hill. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Beanblossom Creek and its tributaries, with small communities like Spearsville and Fruitdale serving as local hubs. This topography, marked by numerous hollows such as Cotton Hollow and Wolfpen Hollow, historically dictated the placement of rural institutions. Local landmarks like Sprunica School and several country churches, including Bethel Church and Mt Carmel Church, highlight the importance of community centers in this upland landscape. The emergence of recreation and residential expansion is evident in the presence of several reservoirs, including Lamb Lake, Sweetwater Lake, and Crestview Lake, which contrast with the traditional agricultural and timbered ridges of Hensley and Hamblen townships.
