2019 Map of Shoals

About this map

The East Fork White River dictates the landscape of this Martin County region, winding through deep bends and passing significant landmarks like Pinnacle Rock and House Rock. The town of Shoals serves as a central hub, where the river's path is flanked by notable geological formations including Cedar Bluff and McBrides Bluff. Evidence of long-term human presence is visible from the Shell Mound near the riverbanks to the scattered rural settlements of Dover Hill, Ironton, and Lacy. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds such as Hollow Cem and Sholts Cem, while the northern reaches of the map include portions of the NSA Crane naval installation. The terrain is defined by a series of ridges and hollows, where water features like Mountain Stream and Buck Knob Cr drain into the primary river valley.
