2013 Map of Hillham

About this map

Hillham and Natchez anchor this topographic study of a landscape defined by the meandering course of the Lost River and its numerous tributaries. The terrain is marked by prominent natural features such as Emmons Ridge and Coal Mine Ridge, which divide the various creek basins including Cane Cr and Davis Cr. In the northern section, the settlement of Roland sits near a crossing of the river, while the southern reaches show the modern footprint of the French Lick Municipal Airport. Local history is embedded in the nomenclature of the land, from the descriptive Stillhouse Hollow and Rattlesnake Hollow to the small community at Mount Airie. The road network connects these points through a system of county roads and state highways that navigate the narrow gaps and ridges typical of this part of southern Indiana.
