2019 Map of Oolitic

About this map

Oolitic and East Oolitic serve as central points in this landscape just north of Bedford, where the terrain is marked by significant geographic depressions including Dark Hollow and Diehl Hollow. The area is densely populated with small settlements and rural nodes like Needmore, Peerless, and Murdock, reflecting a long-standing limestone-related industrial and residential pattern along the Salt Creek corridor. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Hopkins Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and the Springville Christian Cem, are distributed across the landscape, providing valuable locations for genealogical research. The southern boundary reaches into the Hoosier National Forest, contrasting with the more developed residential clusters near Patton Hill and Guthrie. This survey provides a clear view of the complex road network, from named rural lanes like Pierce Cemetery Ln to the corridors connecting Avoca and Judah.
