About this map

Otwell and Ireland anchor this southern Indiana landscape where Pike and Dubois counties meet. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the Patoka River and its various tributaries like Flat Creek and Sulphur Springs Brook. A notable genealogical resource is the density of local burial sites, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and Mount Zion Cem.

White Sulphur Springs stands out south of the main settlement of Otwell, indicating the historical significance of mineral springs in this region. The map captures a mix of small-town street grids and an extensive network of rural county roads that connect outlying landmarks such as Bethel Cem and the lowlands of Big Bottom. This survey reflects the enduring agricultural and rural character of the area, punctuated by small community centers and family-named landmarks.
