About this map

The ridge-and-valley terrain northeast of Bloomington is defined by the significant footprint of the Morgan-Monroe State Forest, which dominates the northern and central portions of the landscape. The settlement of Unionville sits at a crossroads near the center of the sheet, while the northeastern corner captures a portion of Lake Lemon and the feeder waters of Shuffle Creek. To the southwest, the expansion of the city is evident through neighborhoods like Hoosier Acres and Eastern Heights, including the commercial hub of the College Mall Shopping Center.

The rural character of the eastern portion is shaped by the winding courses of Salt Creek and the North Fork Salt Creek, where local history is preserved at sites such as Brummett Creek Church and its associated cemetery. Notable topographic features like Bender Ridge and Lampkin Ridge divide the numerous hollows, including Danny Burr Hollow and Penitentiary Hollow, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that flow toward the reservoir. The Indiana Railroad provides a critical transit link, cutting through the terrain between Dolan and the Bloomington outskirts.
