About this map

Stony Lonesome and Bethany anchor this portion of Bartholomew County, where the southern Indiana landscape transitions into a series of distinctive ridges and knobs. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Guffy Hill, Knob Hill, and Patterson Hill, which overlook a network of creek valleys. The water system is particularly intricate, featuring the East Fork Salt Cr and South Branch Salt Cr, alongside several residential and recreational water bodies including the large Grandview Lake and Harrison Lake.

Rural life in the early 21st century is reflected in the clustered settlements of New Bellsville and North Ogilville. The map captures a mix of longstanding agricultural land and newer developments like Lake on the Green, connected by a dense grid of county roads. For those studying local geography, the relationship between the East Fork White Cr and the surrounding heights like Pleasant Ridge illustrates the typical drainage patterns of the region's dissection.
