About this map

The East Fork White River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Martin County, defining the local geography with its sharp meanders and dramatic riverside elevations. Shoals serves as the primary hub along the riverbanks, where the terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations such as Pinnacle Rock and the nearby Cedar Bluff. To the north, the settlement of Dover Hill sits atop the high ground, surrounded by a network of rural routes like Dover Hill Rd and Killion Mill Rd.

Genealogists will find several small burial grounds scattered across the landscape, including Hall Cem, Sholts Cem, and McBrides Cem. The southern portion of the area is heavily wooded, falling within the protected boundaries of the Hoosier National Forest. This map also documents the industrial and governmental presence in the region, from the residential clusters at Ironton and Pleasant Valley to the northern edge of NSA Crane.
