About this map

The East Fork White River winds through the heart of this Lawrence County landscape, defining the character of small settlements like Williams and Mount Olive. The river's path is marked by distinctive topographical features such as Henshaw Bend and the landmark Williams Bridge. To the north, the terrain transitions into the upland communities of Silverville and the protected lands of the Hoosier National Forest.

Genealogists will find a wealth of site-specific data, with numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the ridges, including Modrel Chapel Cem, Uno Paton Cem, and Waggoner Cem. The presence of the NSA Crane boundary in the northwest and various geological markers like Haystack Rocks and Bear Hill highlight the varied land use between military interests, agriculture, and the natural ruggedness of southern Indiana's hill country.
