About this map

Huron sits at the intersection of rail and forest in this 1993 revision, which captures the rugged southern Indiana landscape as it appeared at the end of the 20th century. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor dictates the placement of settlements like Willow Valley and Huron, cutting through a topography defined by significant elevation changes within the Martin State Forest and Hoosier National Forest. In the northwestern corner, the White River and its East Fork carve dramatic geological features into the terrain, such as Norman Rock Bend, Devils Elbow, and Old Mans Nose.

The map reveals a landscape where nature and early industry left deep imprints, from the winding path of Beaver Creek to the curiously named Yellow Tunnel and Tank Spring. Rural life is marked by small settlements like Bonds and Williams, alongside local Cem sites. These features, documented through decades of surveys and 1986 aerial photography, provide a detailed look at the township boundaries of Mitcheltree, Spice Valley, and Northwest as they cross the county lines of Martin, Lawrence, and Orange.
