1956 Map of Dry Valley

About this map

The Falling Water River and the high ridges of Burnett Mountain define the rugged topography of this mid-century survey along the border of Putnam and White counties. The landscape is characterized by its numerous coves and deep depressions, most notably the Big Sink and Dry Valley, which illustrate the region's complex karst drainage. Small rural communities like Goffton and Key are shown connected by winding mountain roads, while the educational and spiritual life of the area is well-documented through scattered landmarks such as Stone Seminary, Bohannon Sch, and Robinson Chapel.
