About this map

The Patoka River winds through the heart of Jasper, Indiana, defining the geography of this Dubois County hub as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map illustrates the city's modern street grid and its relationship to the surrounding lowlands, most notably the Buffalo Flat and Plain Drain to the east. The landscape is dotted with private and public water bodies, from Ruxer Lake near the city center to the Izaak Walton Lake further north.

Rural development extends toward Haysville and Portersville near the E Fork White River, which clips the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. Regional infrastructure and local landmarks, including the Buchta Airport and various named drainages like Haysville Run and Hope Drain, highlight the area's intricate water management and transportation network. This survey captures the region just before significant shifts in rural land use, documenting established local place names such as White Hollow and Buck Shoals.
