About this map

The West Fork White River carves a deep path through Washington County in the early 1990s, serving as the central artery for the settlements of West Fork and Greenland. This landscape is defined by the sharp rise of Miller Mountain, Fraker Mountain, and Bloyd Mountain, which hem in the river valley. The map documents significant infrastructure expansion, notably featuring a large-scale pipeline under construction that snakes parallel to the river and highway, cutting across the western slopes of West Mountain.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the quadrangle, with numerous family-named landmarks and rural burial sites including Boone Cem, Campbell Cem, and Union Star Cem. Small community hubs like Pitkin Corner and Woolsey remain visible alongside several country churches such as Friendship Ch and Mt Gap Ch. Local industry is represented by Quarries located between the river and the Illinois River watershed to the west.
