2019 Map of Whitcomb

About this map

Brookville Lake dominates the northwest corner of this Franklin County landscape, its western shores marked by significant cultural landmarks like The Mounds and the historical site of Battle Point. The map details a transition from the structured recreational spaces of the lake to the deeply dissected valley of the Whitewater River and its numerous tributaries, including Little Cedar Cr and Richland Cr. Small, established communities like Whitcomb, Palestine, and Mount Carmel anchor the road network, which is defined by long-standing routes like Oxford Pike and Liberty Pike. The terrain is characterized by named elevations such as Garr Hill and Bon Well Hill, while the local history is preserved in the location of the James Cem and Mount Carmel Cem. This topography reflects the typical settlement patterns of southeast Indiana, where development follows the winding ridges and narrow hollows like Sleepy Hollow and Owl Hollow.
