1978 Map of Williams

About this map

The East Fork White River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Lawrence and Martin Counties, defining the local geography with dramatic features like Henshaw Bend and Chase Ripple. Much of the northern terrain is occupied by the U S Naval Reservation Weapons Support Center, where a Lookout Tower stands near the boundary of the Hoosier National Forest. The landscape is a mix of protected timberland and rural settlements, with the Milwaukee Chicago St Paul and Pacific railroad threading through the river valley near Mt Olive Ch. Genealogists will find numerous small burial sites and congregations scattered across the ridges, including Mountain Spring Cem, Uno-Paton Ch, and Fairview Ch, reflecting the deep-rooted community structure of Spice Valley and Mitcheltree townships during the late 1970s.
