Elkinsville is an unincorporated town in Van Buren Township, Brown County, Indiana. The town was once a thriving farming village, but was evacuated during the construction of nearby Lake Monroe Reservoir via eminent domain in 1964. All that is left of Elkinsville today are some private residences, the Elkinsville Cemetery, and post office. The area is part of Hoosier National Forest.
Just south of Elkinsville, Browning Mountain, also Browning Hill (GNIS), is a mountain biker's heaven at 928 ft elevation[3].
