1903 Map of Haubstadt

About this map

Ft. Branch and Haubstadt serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural landscape surveyed at the dawn of the twentieth century. The region is defined by a dense network of German Catholic and pioneer settlements connected by the Evansville and Terre Haute R. R. and the Illinois Central R. R.. Small crossroads communities like St. Wendells, Armstrong, and St. Joseph are interspersed among the drainages of Pigeon Creek and Flat Creek, reflecting a period of established township organization across Gibson, Vanderburg, and Posey counties.
