About this map

The Loogootee city grid serves as the primary hub of this Martin County landscape, where the agricultural plains are punctuated by the extensive waters of West Boggs Lake. Managed by the West Boggs Creek Dam, this reservoir dominates the northern terrain, creating a complex shoreline that contrasts with the straight-line county road network. To the south, the East Fork White River carves a winding path past Mount Pleasant, spanned by the Houghton Bridge near a cluster of family-named landmarks.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through several burial grounds, including Saint Johns Cemetery and Goodwill Cemetery near the city center, as well as the more remote Wagler Cemetery and Woods Cemetery. The western edge of the map identifies the outskirts of Cannelburg, while numerous small drainages like Flat Creek and Friends Creek reveal the natural irrigation of this Indiana farming region.
