About this map

Dubois and Celestine serve as the primary hubs in this portion of Dubois County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Patoka River. The terrain transitions from the alluvial bottomlands of Polson Cr and Beaver Cr into the rising elevations of the Harbison Hills to the east. This 2016 survey documents a rural infrastructure where movement is dictated by these water systems, evidenced by crossing points like the John Seitz Bridge and Crystal Station Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find a well-preserved record of early family footprints through numerous small burial grounds, including Hardin Cem, Ewing Cem, and Bailey Cem. The presence of recreation and community-managed resources is visible in the Dubois Community Club Lake and Celestine Community Club Lake, while larger water bodies like Beaver Lake and Jasper Lake anchor the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. The map also records small, distinct crossroads such as Kellerville and Dubois Crossroads along E State Rd 56.
