2010 Map of Branchville

About this map

Saint Croix and Branchville anchor this rural landscape in the Hoosier State, where a complex network of hollows and ridges defines the local geography. The area is exceptionally dense with family and community burial grounds, from the Rickenbaugh Cemetery near Lake Celina to the German Ridge Cemetery in the south, reflecting a deep-rooted history of local settlement. The terrain is marked by significant elevation features such as McKensie Ridge, where the West Fork Lookout Tower provides a high vantage point overlooking the drainage basins of Oil Creek and Ewing Creek. Small, dispersed settlements like Bandon and Oriole are connected by winding roads that navigate around landmarks like Peter Cave Hollow and Rich Cave Hollow. This map offers researchers a detailed view of the 21st-century rural infrastructure, preserving the names of remote locations like Happy Hollow and Goldman Hollow alongside vital water sources such as the Middle Fork Anderson River.
