About this map

West Baden Springs and Prospect define the urban character of this Orange County landscape, where the built environment of these famous resort towns meets the expansive woodland of the Hoosier National Forest. The hydrology of the region is notably complex, centered on the winding path of the Lost River and its various tributaries like Lick Creek and French Lick Creek. The terrain is characterized by numerous named hollows and ridges that separate the primary drainage basins.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial sites throughout the rural outskirts, including Sulphur Creek Cem, Springer Cem, Miller Cem, and Faucett Cem. The road network provides clear access to these areas via routes such as Orangeville Rd and Abbeydell Pike, illustrating the persistence of local travel corridors through the rugged forest interior. Significant geographic markers like Elrod Gulf and Gravel Run further detail the varied topography of this legendary mineral spring region.
