About this map

Brown County State Park and the Hoosier National Forest dominate this landscape, which preserves a network of upland ridges and steep hollows. The small settlement of Story sits at a crossroads near the Middle Fork Salt Creek, while other small communities like Christiansburg and Houston serve as anchors for the rural population. Transportation is defined by a mix of functional routes like Houston Road and historically significant paths such as Old Indian Treaty Road.

Genealogists will find several rural burial grounds, including Moffitt Cem and Lutes Cem, alongside local landmarks like Mt Zion Ch and Mt Nebo Ch. The topography is marked by named heights like Shepard Hill and Browning Hill, overlooking numerous drainages such as Strahl Creek and Wilson Hollow. The rising waters of Monroe Lake are visible at the western edge, indicating the mid-century hydrological changes in the region.
