1956 Map of Story
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Brown County State Park dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century Indiana survey, where the rugged topography of the southern hills dictated a winding network of roads and scattered rural settlements. Small communities like Story and Christiansburg serve as local hubs in this deeply dissected terrain, characterized by a series of prominent ridges such as Oak Ridge and Pruitt Ridge. The map reveals the historical imprint of the Old Indian Treaty Boundary Line, which cuts diagonally across the townships, influencing property lines and road placements long after the treaty's inception. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including the Van Buren High Sch and numerous family burial grounds like Polly Hill Cem and Moffitt Cem. In the south, the village of Houston sits near the Houston Lookout Tower, marking a high point overlooking the Little Salt Creek drainage system.
