About this map

The neighboring towns of Ironton and Arcadia anchor the northwestern corner of this study, positioned near the foot of Pilot Knob where the local economy transitions from early mining to mid-century recreation. The landscape is defined by the heavy timber of the Clark National Forest, which surrounds numerous peaks including Grassy Mountain, Crane Mountain, and Turkey Foot Mountain. Central to the area's development is Lake Killarney, featuring the Killarney Shores settlement and the Arcadia Valley Bible Camp along its banks.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds scattered through the hollows and hills, such as the Arcadia Valley Cem, Cove Cem, and Royer Cem. Notable local landmarks from the late 1960s include a Drive-in Theater and the Arcadia Valley Golf Club, reflecting a period of post-war social growth. Along Stouts Creek, the geological feature known as the Shut-Ins remains a prominent natural point of interest amidst the winding drainages of Froehlich Hollow and Devils Den Hollow.
