About this map

The town of Nashville serves as the focal point of this survey of Brown County, situated amidst a landscape of sharp ridges and deep hollows. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations such as Town Hill, Kin Hubbard Ridge, and Weed Patch Hill, which overlook the winding course of the North Fork Salt Creek. The map documents a dense network of local landmarks, including the curiously named settlements of Gnaw Bone and Stone Head, alongside smaller communities like Pikes Peak and Clarksdale.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant detail in the placement of rural cemeteries, including David Cem, Crouch Cem, and Reeves Cem, often located near family-named features like Mullis Hollow and Pittman Hollow. The interaction between the rugged topography and early settlement patterns is evident in the placement of roads like Bear Wallow Hill Rd and Bellsville Pike, which follow the natural contours of the Indiana uplands. Water resources are plentiful, with numerous small bodies of water such as Ogle Lake and Strahl Lake providing geographic markers across the quadrangle.
