2010 Map of Augusta

About this map

The Patoka River and its numerous tributaries, including Mill Creek and Hog Branch, define the rural geography of this Pike County region. The landscape reflects a legacy of local industry and water management, evidenced by the Blackfoot Mine and extraction sites like Hoskins Pits. Small settlements such as Augusta, Hartwell, and Stendal are connected by a network of county roads, with several family and fraternal burial grounds including Corn Cemetery, Barre Cemetery, and the Odd Fellow Cemetery serving as important landmarks for genealogical research. Water features are prominent throughout the area, from the engineered Augusta Lake Dam and Enos Lake Dam to the natural flow of Beadens Creek and the South Fork Patoka River. The presence of the Hartwell Lookout Tower suggests the importance of fire observation for the surrounding timberlands, while the Pike Forest Horse Trl indicates the area's recreational use.
