2019 Map of Augusta

About this map

Augusta and Stendal anchor this Pike County landscape, where the meandering drainage of the Patoka River and its southern forks defines the terrain. The map documents a rural corridor transitioning between agricultural fields and industrial extraction, most notably at Hoskins Pits and the Corn-Gem site. For those tracing local history, several small cemeteries are preserved among the township grids, including Augusta Cem, Barret Cem, and Saint Peters Cem near the southern boundary. Settlement patterns follow the historic county roads and the paths of former rail junctions like Hartwell Junction. The hydrology is complex, featuring managed waterways such as Barren Ditch and natural flows through Clifford Cr and Beadens Cr. High points like Mitchell Plain provide a glimpse into the geographic character of the region, while naming conventions for routes like the Pike Forest Horse TRL suggest a landscape used for both work and modern recreation.
