1960 Map of Jasper

About this map

Jasper serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this Dubois County landscape, where the Patoka River winds southward through Bainbridge township. This mid-century view, updated with late-1970s aerial revisions, captures the city during a period of expansion, evidenced by the development of the Country Club and the Trailer Park near the Ackerman Branch. To the north and west, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of small farming communities and timbered drainage basins. The northern border is defined by the East Fork White River near Portersville, a historic river crossing. Throughout the rural townships of Boone, Harbison, and Madison, the map documents several family burial grounds and country congregations, including Shiloh Ch and Alexander Cem, providing essential details for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement patterns of southwestern Indiana.
