About this map

Hindostan Falls marks a significant geological and historical point on the East Fork White River as it winds through this portion of Dubois County. The landscape is defined by the complex confluence of the Lost River and its numerous tributaries, including Blue Creek and Simmons Creek. This survey captures the rural settlement pattern of the area, centered around small communities like Thales, Windom, and Rusk.

Genealogists will find value in the placement of several family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as Holtsglaw Cemetery and Simmons Cemetery, often located near prominent terrain features like Schoolhouse Hill or Goss Hill. The network of county roads, such as Abel Hill Rd and Virginia Hill Rd, provides a clear view of the local infrastructure connecting these dispersed homesteads and hollows like Qualkenbush Hollow.
