1960 Map of Shoals

Upland from the valley floor, the terrain is defined by the Hoosier National Forest and Martin County State Forest, where landmarks like Sampson Hill and Pinnacle Rock offer significant relief. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for rural congregations such as Mt Union Ch and Poplar Grove Ch, alongside the Crane Naval Ammunition Depot boundary in the north. The area's extraction history is visible in several strip mines located south of the river.
