2021 Map of Moriah

About this map

Moriah and Hogue Town sit at the center of this rural landscape where the North Fork Embarras River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Clark, Jasper, and Crawford counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of country roads and small, family-associated burial grounds that speak to a long history of local settlement. Genealogists can find numerous sites including Mount Cem, Baughman Cem, and Backbone Cem tucked away between the drainages of Mount Br and Willow Cr. To the east, the curiously named settlement of Moonshine anchors a junction of farm roads, while Bellair marks the southern reach of the survey. The geography remains largely defined by its natural watercourses, with Panther Cr and Little Willow Cr framing a region dedicated to agriculture and interconnected rural communities.
