About this map

The East Fork White River and the Lost River carve through the borderlands of Martin and Dubois counties, defining a landscape of sharp ridges and deep hollows. Much of the eastern terrain is protected within the Hoosier National Forest, where labels like Coal Hollow and Harner Hollow mark the complex topography. Small settlements such as Thales, Rusk, and Windom serve as anchors for a network of rural roads, including Jackman Hill Rd and Abel Hill Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, such as Holtsglaw Cem and Walker Cem. A notable geographic feature is Hindostan Falls on the White River, positioned near the crossing of Brooks Bridge. The map detail traces the winding courses of numerous tributaries like Blue Cr and Simmons Cr, which have shaped the settlement patterns and agricultural pockets of this southern Indiana region.
