2019 Map of Valeene

About this map

Hoosier National Forest dominates the central topography of this Southern Indiana landscape, where the deeply carved drainages of the Patoka River and Youngs Creek define the settlement patterns. The map highlights several small rural communities and named crossroads such as Valeene, Pearsontown, and Bacon, which are connected by a network of forest roads and trails. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including Little Africa Cem, Danners Chapel Cem, and Cook - Tucker Cem. The terrain is characterized by intricate hollows like Underwood Hollow and Bird Hollow, illustrating the rugged drainage systems that feed into Timberlin Lake and various creeks near the Orange and Crawford County line.
