2019 Map of Catlin

About this map

Little Raccoon Creek and its many tributaries carve a winding path through this portion of Parke County, a landscape defined by its historic stream crossings. This region is notable for its concentration of structural heritage, featuring numerous timber spans including Crooks Covered Bridge, McAllisters Covered Bridge, and Neet Covered Bridge. The map captures the small-town layout of Bridgeton, situated where Big Raccoon Creek meets Clear Run, and shows the quiet settlements of Catlin and Minshall nestled among the drainage basins of Molasses Cr and Lakeys Br. For genealogists, several family-named burial sites are documented across the rural sections, such as Hartman Family Cem and the Adams Lee Cem. The terrain transitions from the open bottomlands of Pleasant Valley to more dissected areas like Happy Hollow, reflecting the enduring agricultural and hydraulic patterns of Western Indiana.
