1966 Map of Elkinsville

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Monroe Lake dominates this mid-century landscape at its normal pool elevation of 538 feet, its fingers reaching deep into the drainage of the Salt Creek forks. The settlement of Elkinsville sits at the edge of the water near the Elkinsville Cem, while further south, Maumee serves as another focal point for local families. The terrain is defined by a dense network of timbered ridges, including Gilmore Ridge and Deckard Ridge, much of which is protected within the Yellowwood State Forest and Hoosier National Forest. Family-named landmarks such as John Grubb Ridge and Browning Hill testify to generations of land use. Rural life is anchored by institutions like Crooked Creek Ch and the Hickory Ridge Lookout Tower, providing a detailed view of Brown County before modernization further altered these remote valleys.
