2013 Map of Birdseye

About this map

Birdseye serves as the central hub of this Dubois County landscape, where the local street grid including Walnut St and Elm St meets the winding course of the Anderson River. The topography is defined by a dense network of water bodies and drainages, from the expansive Patoka Lake in the north to smaller, privately named features like Carmichael Lake and Idle Hour Lake. This era shows a settled rural transition, with established communities at Mentor, Riceville, and Wickliffe connected by a web of county roads. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the deeply cut Taylor Hollow and the rise of Fox Ridge, illustrating the varied terrain that shapes the agricultural and residential patterns of southern Indiana.
