2011 Map of Greenbrier

About this map

Greenbrier sits at the heart of this Southern Indiana landscape, where the headwaters of French Lick Creek and Painter Creek begin to define the undulating terrain. To the south, the expansive waters of the Patoka River system dominate the geography, creating an intricate network of inlets and branches like Cane Branch and Dumplin Branch. This area is characterized by its rural settlement pattern, where small communities like Ethel and Brownstown are linked by winding roads that navigate around the rising elevations of Tillery Hill and Lomax Hollow. The presence of the Spears Lookout Tower and the Patoka Memorial Cemetery provide clear landmarks for local history researchers and genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Orange County. Managed water resources are evident through features such as the SVC District French Lick Dam F-7 at Tucker Lake and the Olinger Lake Dam, illustrating the area's twentieth-century hydraulic developments.
