About this map

Patoka and Hazleton anchor this river-dominated landscape at the northern edge of Gibson County. The meandering courses of the White River and the Patoka River define the local topography, creating a complex network of drainage features like Robb Cr, Hull Ditch, and Trippet Ditch. This geography historically dictated the placement of settlements and infrastructure, seen in the positioning of the Princeton Waterworks and the small airfield at Hull Airport.

Away from the primary riverbanks, the terrain rises toward Bald Hill and levels out into agricultural tracts punctuated by small communities like Decker Chapel. The persistence of names like Old US-Hwy 41 alongside modern routes reflects the evolution of transit in the region, while landmarks such as Long Pond and Snider Field Airport highlight the variety of land use, from natural wetlands to local aviation.
