1967 Map of Story

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

Brown County State Park and the Hoosier National Forest dominate this landscape, showing a region defined by public timberlands and protected watersheds. The tiny settlements of Story and Houston serve as historical anchors in a heavily dissected terrain of high ridges like Nebo Ridge and Bard Knobs. The drainage of Salt Creek and its many forks, including Middle Fork Salt Creek and Little Salt Creek, provide the fundamental structure for the area's few roads, such as Buffalo Road and Treaty Line Road. Genealogists will find several remote burial grounds preserved within the forest boundaries, including Mt Zion Cem and McKinley Cem. The map also identifies modern conservation efforts through labeled wildlife viewing areas at Blaine Pond and Schott Pond, illustrating the transition from 19th-century subsistence homesteading to 20th-century recreation and reforestation.
