About this map

The East Fork White River carves a deep, winding path through Martin County, defining the local geography with dramatic features like Heathen Bend and Pinnacle Rock. Centered on the town of Shoals, this 1993 revision shows a landscape heavily managed by federal and state agencies, with the Hoosier National Forest to the south and the Crane Naval Ammunition Depot occupying the northern hills.

Smaller settlements and historical sites are scattered throughout the rugged terrain, including Dover Hill, Ironton, and Lacy. Local history is visible in the placement of the Dover Hill Fire Tower and the Poplar Grove Ch, while the Airfield near the river suggests modern logistical uses of the valley. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, where numerous named tributaries like Buck Knob Creek and Beaver Creek feed into the main river channel.
