2022 Map of Story

About this map

Hoosier National Forest dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the deeply dissected terrain of Nebo Ridge and Berry Ridge creates a complex network of hollows such as Rayburn Hollow and Mitchell Hollow. The settlement of Story serves as a central point where S State Rd 135 meets the Middle Fork Salt Creek. This waterway and its tributaries, including Hamilton Creek and Little Salt Cr, define the drainage patterns between the small communities of Christiansburg and Houston. Local heritage is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including McKinney Cem and Lutes Cem, while the inclusion of the Cherry Hill Airport and Spurgeons Corner reflects the modest infrastructure within this heavily forested region along the Brown and Jackson county line.
