1980 Map of Greenbrier

About this map

Patoka Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its winding fingers reaching into the deep hollows of Hoosier National Forest following the completion of the Patoka Mem Dam. This 1980 survey captures the transition of the Patoka River valley into a major recreation and wildlife hub, including the Tillery Hill State Recreation Area and Springs Valley State Fish and Wildlife Area. North of the reservoir, the terrain retains its rural character with small crossroads settlements like Greenbrier and the tiny village of Ethel. Local heritage is anchored by country houses of worship such as South Liberty Ch, McDougal Ch, and Fairview Ch. Further north, the drainage of French Lick Creek feeds into Tucker Lake, illustrating the complex water management systems that define the Orange and Crawford County line.
