About this map

Hoosier National Forest dominates the northern half of this landscape at the intersection of Monroe, Lawrence, and Jackson Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Mitchell Ridge and Dennis Murphy Hollow, which are woven with an extensive system of forest trails like Hickory Ridge 4 Trail and Hickory Ridge 10 Trail. These rugged uplands drop away into the fertile drainage basins of Leatherwood Creek and Little Salt Creek.

Small rural settlements including Norman, Zelma, Heltonville, and Yellowstone anchor the lower elevations. For those researching local history, several family-named burial sites are preserved across the area, including Mitchell Cemetery in the north and Scott Wray Cemetery to the southeast. The survey reflects a sparsely populated region where traditional township lines—t7n r1e, t7n r2e, and others—continue to frame the land use pattern between public forest and private holdings.
