About this map

Patoka Lake dominates the southern half of this landscape, its intricate, branching fingers reaching into the valleys of the Hoosier National Forest. This modern survey illustrates the dramatic contrast between the high, wooded terrain of Persimmon Ridge and the lower basin defined by the impounded Patoka River. The settlement of Cuzco sits in the northern portion of the map, situated near the confluence of Dillon Cr and Cane Cr, while the village of Ellsworth occupies a position just west of the lake's northern reaches.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features such as Swift Cem on the eastern edge and the small settlement of Norton to the north. The map traces the intersection of several counties, including the boundaries between Dubois, Orange, and Crawford. For researchers, the detailed road network including the Dubois-Patoka Lake Access Rd and various forest routes provides a clear picture of contemporary access to these wooded uplands and waterways.
