1966 Map of Belmont

About this map

Yellowwood Lake and the winding course of Salt Creek anchor this mid-1960s study of Brown County's heavily forested landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including Pattys Garden Ridge and Kleindorfer Hollow, which highlight the traditional family-named topography of the Indiana hills. Public lands dominate the region, with the Yellowwood State Forest, Brown County State Park, and Hoosier National Forest all converging here. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the T C Steele State Memorial and the West Tollhouse near the park boundary. Smaller settlements like Lanam and Belmont appear alongside newer developments like Annandale Estates, showing the intersection of rural heritage and mid-century growth near Nashville.
