1962 Map of New Bellsville

About this map

The hills of Washington and Harrison townships define this section of Bartholomew and Brown counties, where the land transitions from the high ridges of Fourmile Ridge to the developed lakeside communities near Ogilville. By the early 1960s, the landscape featured several prominent artificial water bodies, including the tiered levels of North Harrison Lake, South Harrison Lake, and the expansive Grandview Lake with its spillway at 715 feet. To the north, the Camp Atterbury Military Reservation occupies a significant portion of the terrain, its boundary running along Catherine Creek. Local history is anchored by several rural landmarks such as Mt Carmel Ch, New Zion Ch, and family cemeteries like Dobbs Cem and Haislup Cem. The map documents established crossroads and hamlets including Georgetown, North Salem, and New Bellsville, reflecting the mid-century settlement pattern of south-central Indiana.
