About this map

Yellowwood State Forest and the eastern edge of Brown County State Park dominate this 1950 topographical study, revealing a landscape defined by deep ridges and narrow creek bottoms. The small settlement of Belmont serves as a hub near the North Fork Salt Creek, while the surrounding hills are dotted with family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure. The presence of the T C Steele Memorial near Bucker Knob and the West Toll House on Kelley Hill reflects the region's cultural and transportation history before the expansion of modern highway systems. The map captures a high density of rural institutions, including the Duncan Ch, Belmont Sch, and numerous cemeteries such as Penfield Cem and Brummet Cem. Many of these features are tucked into named hollows like Kleindorfer Hollow and Schooner Creek, illustrating the secluded nature of mid-century Hoosier hill country life.
