2013 Map of Catlin

About this map

Crooks Covered Bridge and McAllisters Covered Bridge span the waterways of Parke County, highlighting a landscape defined by its historical stream crossings. This 2013 survey records the rural character of the region, where small settlements like Minshall and New Discovery are linked by a network of county roads. The drainage of Little Raccoon Cr and its tributaries, including Leatherwood Br and Lakeys Br, dictates the placement of these distinctive engineering landmarks. Further south, the map details the community of Bridgeton, situated near the Bridgeton Bridge and Case Lake. The terrain is generally low-lying, punctuated by Snow Hill and the winding course of Big Raccoon Cr, which flows past Pleasant Valley and the Conleys Ford Covered Bridge. This modern topographic study preserves the spatial relationship between local aviation at Butler Field Airport and the enduring small-town footprints of Piattsville and Catlin.
