2012 Map of Bellflower North

About this map

Bellflower and the small settlement of Gamma anchor this rural landscape in Montgomery County, where the topography is defined by the winding West Fork Cuivre River and its numerous tributaries. Family and community heritage is deeply rooted here, evidenced by a high concentration of burial grounds including Macedonia Cemetery, Mabry Cemetery, Pontlow Cemetery, and Berger Cemetery. The terrain transitions from the elevated ridge known as the Backbone down through Fulcher Hollow, revealing a landscape shaped by water and wood. For researchers of local history, the map preserves the location of Stillhouse Ford on the river and provides a look at the rural road network that historically linked these isolated farms and homesteads, with named routes like Coal Mine Rd and Lincoln School Rd hinting at the area's former industrial and educational landmarks.
