About this map

The town of Nashville serves as the hub of this 1940s survey, situated at the confluence of Greasy Creek and the North Fork Salt Creek. The map documents a transition in land use, showing the established village grid alongside the expanding footprint of Brown County State Park. Within the park, significant elevation is reached at Weed Patch Hill, which features a lookout tower, a companion to the Lilly Lookout Tower further north.

The rural landscape is characterized by narrow hollows like Hobbs Hollow and ridges such as Kin Hubbard Ridge. These topographic features defined the placement of remote community centers, including the Greasy Creek Ch and several small educational sites like Clark Sch and Mt Liberty Sch. Notable water bodies like Ogle Lake and Strahl Lake are nestled among the steep terrain, illustrating the water management and recreation infrastructure of the late 1940s.
