2019 Map of Oakland City

About this map

Oakland City serves as the primary hub of this 2019 survey, situated at the crossroads of E State Rd 64 and major local thoroughfares. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Patoka River and its numerous tributaries, including Wheeler Creek and Hurricane Cr, which drain into significant bodies of water like Old Lake and New Lake. This modern topographic record reveals a region with deep roots, evidenced by the numerous family and community burial grounds such as Montgomery Cem and Townsley Cem. Small outlying settlements like Spurgeon and Somerville anchor the southern portions of the map, while the border between Gibson and Pike counties cuts vertically through the drainage basins of Honey Cr. The transition from the town center to the wetlands around Turkey Cr illustrates the persistent relationship between southern Indiana commerce and its river-bottom geography.
