About this map

Cecil M Harden Lake dominates the southern portion of this region, where the waters of Big Raccoon Creek are impounded within the borders of Parke and Putnam counties. The settlement of Portland Mills sits at the edge of this reservoir, while the village of Hollandsburg and the community of Bellmore anchor the southwestern corner. The landscape is dotted with numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Seybold Cem, Bruin Cem, and Philadelphia Cem, providing significant geographic markers for genealogical research in this part of Indiana.

In the north, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Little Raccoon Creek and its tributaries, including Troutman Br and Bains Branch. Older crossroads and settlements like Guion, Milligan, and the southern outskirts of Waveland are connected by a network of rural roads such as W State Rd 236 N. The presence of both Old Mount Moriah Cem and Mount Moriah Cem suggests deep-rooted local heritage and shifting community centers over time.
