About this map

The East Fork White River winds through the southern portion of this map, creating a complex corridor of steep terrain and narrow hollows near Tunnelton. The settlement pattern follows the high ground of Dennison Ridge and Ditney Ridge, while the B & O RR tracks the river valley toward Fort Ritner. This intersection of rail and river geography is punctuated by dramatic local landmarks like the Devils Backbone and Jones Defeat Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family burial grounds, including Dodd Cem, Brown Cem, and Sherrill Cem, scattered among the rural intersections. The landscape is characterized by its numerous named drainage features such as Guthrie Creek, Crawford Cr, and the secluded Hemlock Bluff, which reveal the deep-cut topography of Lawrence County. Smaller settlements like Pinhook and points along the B & O RR corridor illustrate the region's historical reliance on both water and rail transportation.
