About this map

The Baltimore And Ohio railroad cuts through the northern limestone hills of Spice Valley, providing a vital transit corridor for the small settlement of Georgia and the nearby Quarry operations. This mid-1960s landscape is defined by its numerous family and community cemeteries, such as Spice Valley Cem, South Cem, and Burton Cem, which trace the early pioneer genealogy of the region.

Southward, the Hoosier National Forest blankets the terrain, where rugged features like Luke Knob and Grosy Ridge overlook the winding path of the Lost River near Orangeville. The distribution of rural landmarks, including Bonds Chapel, Liberty Ch, and Wesley Chapel, alongside the old Treaty Boundary Road, illustrates a established network of cross-county travel and social hubs that persisted well into the mid-20th century.
