2013 Map of Story

About this map

Story and Christiansburg anchor this rural landscape in Brown County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges. The drainage patterns of Middle Fork Salt Cr and its tributaries, such as Hamilton Cr and Strait Cr, carve through the land, creating named features like Harrison Hollow, Jim Ayers Hollow, and Wilson Hollow. This 2013 survey illustrates the persistency of small crossroads settlements like Spurgeons Corner and Houston amidst a terrain that remains largely undeveloped, dominated by prominent elevations such as Bald Knobs and Shepard Hill. Local infrastructure is sparse, highlighted by the presence of Cherry Hill Airport and several small water bodies including Goodwin Lake and Treaty Line Pond. For genealogists, the map preserves numerous family-named landmarks like Mobley Hollow and Nickerson Hill, reflecting generations of local land use.
