About this map

The Patoka River watershed dominates this Southern Indiana landscape, defined by the sprawling waters of Patoka Lake and its intricate shoreline. Revised by the U.S. Forest Service in the early 1990s, this survey reveals a region heavily integrated into the Hoosier National Forest, where conservation land meets small crossroads communities like Greenbrier and Ethel. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of tributaries including Little Patoka River, French Lick Creek, and Youngs Creek, which carve through the townships of Jackson and Greenfield.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks of rural life, such as Cumberland McDonald Ch and the Flick Cem. To the north, the Springs Valley Recreation Area centers on Springs Valley Lake, a managed landscape that serves as a counterpart to the massive Corps of Engineers Lake further south. The boundary between Orange County and Crawford County cuts across the southern portion of the sheet near the settlement of Brownstown.
