2022 Map of Belmont

About this map

Nashville and the adjacent Annandale Estates sit at the eastern edge of this modern Brown County landscape, where the town grid meets the heavily dissected terrain of the Indiana uplands. The drainage system of the North Fork Salt Creek dictates the local geography, with numerous named ridges such as Howard Ridge and Scarce of Fat Ridge separating deep hollows like Sol Pogue Hollow and Graveyard Hollow. Small rural settlements like Lanam and Belmont are connected by a network of ridge-top and valley-bottom roads, including Lanam Ridge Rd and Yellowwood Lake Rd. The map documents several local burial grounds, including Lanam Ridge Cem, South View Cem, and Hickory Hill Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this wooded region. Recreational and agricultural features appear throughout, from the Somerset Lake area to the extensive Brown County State Park Hiking Trails Trl and the Tecumseh Trl, reflecting the area's modern character as a center for conservation and outdoor activity.
