About this map

The Patoka River meanders through the heart of Jasper, marking a landscape where mid-century urban expansion meets the rural character of Bainbridge and Madison townships. This 1960 revision, with 1980s updates, documents the growth of the Dubois County seat, showing the proximity of the Country Club and Golf Course to the emerging residential streets. Significant landmarks like St Joseph Sch and the central industrial core contrast with the numerous family cemeteries dotting the periphery, including Sherritt Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Evans Cem.

To the north and west, the terrain is defined by smaller drainage systems like Crooked Creek and Grist Mill Run, while the village of Ireland stands as a distinct western anchor. Resource extraction and recreation appear side-by-side, evidenced by a Strip Mine near the northern boundary and the Izaak Walton Lakes to the northeast. This sheet provides a detailed look at the area's transition from small river settlements like Portersville and Haysville to a more integrated municipal landscape.
