About this map

Tunnelton and Fort Ritner sit along the winding corridor of the East Fork White River in southern Indiana, where the waterway creates dramatic terrain such as Devils Backbone and Tunnel Hill. This Lawrence County landscape is defined by the ridge-and-hollow topography typical of the region, illustrated by Dennison Ridge and Ditney Ridge which overlook several tributary creeks including Back Creek and Guthrie Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family burial sites at Dodd Cemetery, Sherrill Cemetery, and Brown Cemetery. The settlement at Leesville anchors the northern portion of the map, while Pinhook remains a notable landmark near the reservoir at Ken-Ray Lake. The road network, including Old US Highway 50, provides a clear view of the rural development and land use patterns as they existed in the early 21st century.
