2013 Map of Martinsville

About this map

Martinsville and Lynchburg anchor this topographical study of the borderlands between Clinton and Highland Counties. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the E Fork Little Miami River and the W Fork E Fork Little Miami River, where small family-named sites and farming communities are clustered. Local history is deeply embedded in the many burial grounds recorded here, including the Masonic Cem near the southern edge and the Turner Family Cem just east of the village center. This 2013 survey illustrates the persistence of early agricultural and settlement patterns, with several clusters such as Jonesboro and Farmers still identified by name. Distinctive infrastructure like the Martinsville Road Bridge and Barnett Airpark show the evolution of transit through this rural corridor, which remains relatively undisturbed by large-scale urban development.
