About this map

Huntingburg serves as the central hub of this mid-century Dubois County survey, showing a well-established grid at the intersection of the Southern railroad lines. The landscape to the west and south reveals an active resource economy, marked by a series of Oil Wells and a Clay Pit near the local Golf Course. Water management and recreation are central to the town's geography, with City Lake and Knebel Lake positioned near the residential center, while the Huntingburg Conservation Club Lake lies further south.

The surrounding townships of Patoka, Bainbridge, and Marion are defined by the winding course of the Patoka River and the Straight River to the north. Notable local landmarks include the Drive-in Theater and Radio Tower (WITZ) north of town, and the Huntingburg Airport on the southern edge. Genealogists will find the locations of Main Cem and Hagen Cem preserved, along with the small settlement of Maltersville in the northeast corner.
