About this map

Oakland City serves as the primary hub of this landscape at the border of Gibson and Pike counties. The town is home to the Oakland City University campus and is defined by a historical rail network, including the Norfolk Southern line and the connection at Oakland City Junction. The surrounding countryside is dotted with small settlements such as Dongola, Spurgeon, and Somerville, alongside numerous family and community burial grounds like Montgomery Cem and Coleman Cem.

Industrial and agricultural history is visible through the Old McCullough Mine and the water system feeding the South Fork Patoka River. From the heights of Turkey Hill and Wilson Hill, the terrain slopes toward a network of creeks, including Wheeler Creek and Honey Creek. This survey provides a modern view of rural Indiana, documenting the persistence of legacy place names like Gudgel and Enos Corner in a landscape of managed lakes and local timber.
