1998 Map of Whitehall

About this map

Ellettsville serves as the primary municipal anchor in this detailed study of the rolling boundary lands between Monroe, Owen, and Greene Counties. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage networks, including Richland Creek and the long valleys of Louden Hollow and Blair Hollow. Cultural and genealogical points of interest are numerous, with several rural houses of worship such as Bethel Ch and Garrison Chapel providing cornerstones for the scattered upland communities. Smaller settlements like Whitehall, Hendricksville, and McVille are captured just as they existed in the late 1990s, set against a backdrop of limestone-rich terrain and timbered ridges. Tracing the numerous family and community burial grounds, from the Hopewell Cem to the Owen County Home Cemetery, offers researchers a clear view of the area's social geography before 21st-century development.
