2011 Map of Story

About this map

The Middle Fork Salt Creek and Little Salt Creek drain a complex landscape of ridges and hollows in this 2011 survey of southern Indiana. The settlement of Story sits at a crossroads of the northern valley, while Houston serves as a southern anchor near Berry Branch Lake. The area's genealogical depth is reflected in numerous family burial grounds, including the Moffitt Cemetery, McKinney Cemetery, and Thompson Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the tributary valleys. Historically significant landmarks like the Cherry Hill Airport near Spurgeons Corner and the Treaty Line Pond suggest the intersection of modern utility and older jurisdictional boundaries. The terrain is defined by named high points such as Oak Ridge and Bald Knobs, alongside specialized topographic features like the Hominy Mortar and Nebo Ridge, illustrating the deep local nomenclature of Brown County.
