2016 Map of Whitcomb

About this map

Brookville Lake dominates the northwestern landscape of this modern survey, its waters meeting the steep elevations of The Mounds and Battle Point. This corner of Franklin County preserves a network of named heights and hollows, including Garr Hill, Bon Well Hill, and Owl Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected topography typical of the region's river valleys. The settlement of Whitcomb sits centrally at a junction of rural roads like Oxford Pike and Whitcomb Rd, while Palestine and Sleepy Hollow lie further south. Genealogists can locate family resting places at James Cem and Mount Carmel Cem. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Little Cedar Cr and the Whitewater River, tracing the natural corridors that have shaped local transport and agriculture for generations.
