2019 Map of Koleen

About this map

Plummer Creek meanders through the central terrain of this Southern Indiana landscape, defining the topography between Koleen and the southern settlement of Doans. The area is characterized by significant elevations including Taylor Ridge and the aptly named Hard Scrabble Ridge, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and connector roads. Several family and community burial grounds are scattered throughout the hills, such as Robinson Cem, Duke Cem, and Howell Cem, offering vital location data for genealogists tracing ancestors in this part of Greene County. To the south, the terrain transitions toward the water resources of Greenwood Lake and Oberlin Lake, while springs like Rankin Spring and Rock Springs highlight the natural hydrology of the rural interior. The road network, including the Piankeshaw Trl, follows the winding paths established by the ridges and stream valleys.
