About this map

Indian Springs and the nearby settlement of Cale anchor this portrait of Martin County, Indiana, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows. The landscape is marked by prominent high points such as Gobbler Knob, Bear Hill, and Pigeon Ridge, while drainage flows through numerous creeks including Boggs Creek, Turkey Cr, and Sulphur Creek. A notable concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Salem Cem, Waggoner Cem, and Boggs Creek Cem, suggests a long-settled rural population that has maintained deep ties to the land over generations.

Transport is facilitated by a complex web of local roads, labeled here as HWY routes, weaving through the hills and following the contours of valleys like Goldsberry Hollow and Opossum Hollow. The presence of mineral-related names like Sulphur Springs and Trinity Springs reflects the local hydrology of the region. This 2016 survey provides a precise account of these rural landmarks and the natural topography of the Martin-Indiana county line.
