About this map

Fort Branch and Haubstadt anchor the northern landscape of this agricultural and industrial region along the Gibson and Vanderburgh county line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the West Fork Pigeon Creek and Sandy Creek, which cut through the land near prominent elevations like Mosquito Hill. The era's transportation and resource extraction patterns are clearly visible, with the Chicago and Eastern Illinois RR and Louisville and Nashville RR facilitating movement alongside numerous Oil Wells and a Coal Mine north of Haubstadt.

Smaller crossroads and rural religious centers such as Saint James, Warrenton, and Stacer provide essential landmarks for genealogical research. Local spiritual life is marked by sites like St Stephen Ch, Immanuel Ch, and the Trinity Parish Cem. The map even captures local recreation with a Racetrack located east of the rail line, while purple revision overlays from the late 1980s document the evolving interstate and road infrastructure over three decades of growth.
