About this map

The White River carves a winding path through this portion of Morgan County, defining the geography of Martinsville and its surrounding communities. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and peaks, such as Slaughterhouse Hill, Pumpkinvine Hill, and Jakes Butte, which overlook the river valley. In the northern reaches, the terrain becomes increasingly complex around Fox Cliff and Blue Bluff, where residential developments like Woodcrest and Shelburne have integrated into the hilly woodlands east of White Lick Creek.

Family history and local heritage are well-documented through a network of rural burial grounds including Hill Dale Cemetery, Nutter Cemetery, and the Foster Cemetery. The transition from the established city center of Martinsville to the southern outskirts reveals a mix of newer developments like Champlin Meadows and older named localities such as Maxwell and Prather. This survey also records the numerous private lakes and dams that dot the landscape, including Foxcliff Lake and Lake Edgewood, which serve as central features for local neighborhoods.
