About this map

Jasper serves as the focal point of this Dubois County landscape, situated along the meandering Patoka River. The city is defined by its grid of residential and commercial streets, including the extensive development around the Vincennes Univ Jasper Campus. North of the city, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of agricultural fields and woodlands, marked by a high density of small family cemeteries like Sherritt Cem, Cavender Cem, and Hope Cem, providing significant touchstones for local genealogical research.

The northern reaches of the quadrangle are bounded by the East Fork White River, where the historic settlement of Portersville sits near the Daviess County line. Water management is a visible priority across the landscape, seen in the numerous drainage features such as Portersville Drain and Sherritt Drain. To the west, the community of Ireland remains a distinct hub, while natural landmarks like Buffalo Flat and the Izaak Walton Lakes highlight the region's managed wetlands and recreational spaces.
