1965 Map of Hillham

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The meandering Lost River carves a complex path through this portion of the Hoosier National Forest on the border of Martin, Orange, and Dubois Counties. The landscape is defined by its karst topography and prominent ridges, most notably Emmons Ridge, which is flanked by the steep ravines of Rattlesnake Hollow and Happy Hollow. This mid-century survey captures the region as it transitioned toward modern infrastructure, featuring the French Lick Municipal Airport and a network of named rural routes like Powell Valley Road and Emmons Ridge Road. Geologic and local history markers are abundant, from the mysterious Outlaw Cave to the Burton Tunnel and scattered limestone quarries. Small communities and family landmarks, such as Natchez, Hillham, and the Hawkins Cem, provide essential data for those tracing the ancestral settlements of the French Lick area.
