About this map

Ellettsville serves as the primary population center in this 1950s survey of the intersection of Monroe, Owen, and Greene counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Richland Creek and its many tributaries, such as Little Richland Cr and Raccoon Creek, which carve deep valleys like Ham Hollow and Blair Hollow into the surrounding limestone uplands. Numerous family and community landmarks are documented throughout these rural townships, including Garrison Chapel, Liberty Ch, and the Whitehall Cem.

A network of small rural settlements including Whitehall, McVille, and Hendricksville are connected by a web of primitive roads and improved routes. Genealogists will find significant value in the carefully marked burial grounds and country churches, from the Hopewell Cem to Bethel Ch. Natural landmarks like Boone Cave and Ludlow Ridge provide further geographic context for this mid-century look at South-Central Indiana.
