About this map

Patoka Lake dominates this portion of Dubois County, its sprawling shoreline creating a complex landscape of coves and inlets following the 20th-century damming of the Patoka River. The village of Ellsworth sits near the Patoka Lake Dam, serving as a gateway to the recreational waters and the E Lick Fork Marina. Further north, the terrain transitions into a series of elevated landmarks such as Persimmon Ridge and Lost Ridge, which hem in the drainage basins of Dillon Creek and Cane Creek.

Rural life is reflected in the network of country roads like Dewitt School Rd and Dillard Rd, which connect the small settlements of Cuzco and Norton. Genealogists may find particular interest in the location of Swift Cemetery, tucked away on a peninsula in the eastern reaches of the lake. The map illustrates the shift from a river-valley agricultural area to one defined by water management and forest service land.
