About this map

Brookville Lake dominates the northwestern corner of this Indiana landscape, where modern recreation trails like the Garr Hill Trail and Eagle Trail wind through the hills surrounding the reservoir. The topography is defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows, notably Owl Hollow and Sleepy Hollow, which descend toward the Big Cedar Cr and Little Cedar Cr drainages.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and creek valleys, from the larger town of Brookville in the west to smaller communities like Whitcomb and Palestine. In the southeastern quadrant near the state line, Mount Carmel sits at a junction of historic pikes. Genealogists can locate family sites such as James Cem and Mount Carmel Cem, while the southwestern corner features Mound Haven near the banks of the Whitewater River.
