About this map

Bridgeton and Catlin anchor this section of Parke County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Big Raccoon Creek and Little Raccoon Creek. The drainage patterns, including Molasses Creek and Leatherwood Branch, dictate the rural road network and the placement of long-standing family landmarks. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, such as the Hartman Family Cemetery and the Adams Lee Cemetery.

Industry and topography meet at Minshall, a site historically tied to coal mining, while natural elevations like Snow Hill rise above the surrounding Pleasant Valley. This survey also documents smaller locales like Smockville and Butler Field, providing a clear look at the contemporary interface between agricultural land and small crossroads settlements. The transition from the hollows, like Happy Hollow, to the open waters of Case Lake reflects the varied terrain of western Indiana.
