About this map

Batesville anchor the southeast corner of this survey, where the White River flows past Luster Island and Brush Island. The landscape is a dense network of upland mining operations and family-named cemeteries, reflecting generations of mineral extraction and settlement. Numerous prospects and pits like the Wildcat Mine, Shell Mine, and Perrin Mine are scattered across the hills, while the White River valley south of Ruddell Hill shows the transition from industrial highlands to the Greenbrier Bottoms.

Infrastructure centers on key transit points like Limedale Junction and Cushman Junction, which served the local hauling and processing economy. Historical genealogists will find several burial sites including the Old Ruddell Hill Cemetery and Claxton Cemetery, while industrial history is preserved at sites like James Switch and Big Spring Mill. The terrain is characterized by deep hollows such as Henderson Hollow and Mulligan Hollow, which carved paths for the early roads and small communities of Limedale and Pattonville.
