About this map

The East Fork White River carves a dramatic path through Lawrence County, creating distinctive landmarks like Gyger Bend, Stumphole Bridge, and the large loop at Horseshoe Bend. During this mid-century period, the landscape is defined by its industrial and agricultural balance, featuring multiple limestone quarries and sand pits near the city limits of Bedford. Regional transit is anchored by two major rail lines, the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Monon RR, which parallel the river and serve the local quarrying industry.
