1961 Map of Nashville

About this map

Nashville serves as the focal point for this survey of Brown County, showcasing the intersection of small-town life and the expansive Brown County State Park. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns of Salt Creek and its branches, such as North Fork, alongside numerous family-named landmarks and small cemeteries. Settlement patterns are characterized by clusters of homesteads like the Aynes House and small rural communities including Gnaw Bone and Stone Head. Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of burial grounds like David Cem and Reeves Cem. Cultural landmarks, including the Covered Bridge and St Agnes Ch, are plotted against a landscape of ridges and hollows like Weddle Hollow and Kin Hubbard Ridge. The topography is marked by significant elevations such as Weed Patch Hill and Brown Hill, which have historically defined the movement and isolation of these southern Indiana townships.
