About this map

The East Fork White River dictates the geography of this Lawrence County landscape, carving deep oxbows like Horseshoe Bend and creating the floodplain where settlements like Riverview and Coxton are situated. The 2011 survey reveals a rural area defined by winding county roads and significant industrial history, notably the Pearson Kaolin Mines in the southwest and the Mitchell Speedway Cemetery to the east.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites, from the Old Union Church Cemetery near Fayetteville to the Connelly Cemetery and Bass Cemetery further south. Unique landmarks like the Stumphole Bridge and the rising elevation of Rariden Hill anchor the topographic survey, while the paths of the Dixie Hwy and Old State Hwy 37 trace the evolution of regional transit through small communities such as Bryantsville and Redding.
