About this map

Morgantown and its surrounding hill country define this landscape at the intersection of Morgan, Brown, and Johnson counties. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with Indian Creek flowing through the northern reaches while Beanblossom Creek drains the southern valleys near the northern tip of Lake Lemon. The map reveals a dense network of upland ridges and narrow hollows, such as Oak Ridge and Carmel Ridge, which have influenced the layout of small settlements like Helmsburg, Beanblossom, and Trevlac.

Tracing the historical infrastructure, Old Railroad Rd suggests the path of former rail lines through Mahalasville and along the creek beds. The area is dotted with numerous small private reservoirs and named bodies of water, including Gallahue Lake and Linger Longer Lake, reflecting a transition toward residential and recreational land use. Genealogists may find interest in the Boles - Williams Cem and family-named landmarks like Cooks Hill that anchor this rural Indiana landscape.
