About this map

The East Fork White River carves a dramatic winding path through this portion of Lawrence and Martin Counties, defining the geography of Spice Valley and Mitcheltree. The small settlements of Williams and Silverville serve as local anchors, while the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad follows the river's northern bank and valley floor. This 1993 revision, based on earlier surveys, captures a landscape defined by significant public land holdings, including portions of the Hoosier National Forest, the Martin State Forest, and the extensive U S Naval Reservation Weapons Support Center to the north.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Silverville Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Mt Pleasant Cem, often located near landmarks like Pleasant Hill Ch. The presence of a Quarry near Mt Olive points to the region's industrial connection to limestone or gravel, while natural features like La Salle Springs and Indian Creek illustrate the water-rich topography of the Indiana uplands.
