About this map

Bozarth State Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain is marked by deep cuts like Hurricane Hollow and Webb Valley. Settlement is sparse, with the community of Hadley situated along a winding road in the center of the sheet. The area’s spiritual and social history is grounded in local landmarks such as Oak Grove Ch and Roland Ch, alongside several family and community burial grounds including Potter Cem and Copeland Cem.

Clearwater Lake appears at the northern boundary, highlighting the management of the Black River watershed. Further south, the boundary between the Clark National Forest and the state forest lands follows the divide between Jackson and Benton townships. Evidence of local industry and natural resources are noted through features like the Devils Kitchen Mine and various gravel pits, illustrating the rural economy of Carter and Reynolds counties in the late 1960s.
