About this map

Birdseye serves as a central hub in this Southern Indiana landscape, where the town grid meets the rolling hills of the Hoosier National Forest. The map documents a territory defined by small rural settlements like Wickliffe and Riceville, connected by a network of local roads such as E State Rd 64 and Indiana 145. Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, including the southern reaches of Patoka Lake and several smaller bodies of water like Carmichael Lake and Idle Hour Lake.

For genealogists and local historians, this survey provides a precise record of family burial grounds scattered across the countryside. Numerous small cemeteries are documented, including Taylor Cem, Adkins Cem, and Sigler Cem. The terrain is also marked by an extensive trail system, with the Birdseye Trail 1 and Birdseye Loop winding through the forested areas, showing how modern recreation overlays the traditional agricultural and timber landscape of Dubois County.
