About this map

The Patoka River winds along the southern edge of this Pike County landscape, anchoring a terrain defined by small rural settlements and industrious transport corridors. Petersburg serves as the primary hub, its street grid extending south toward West Petersburg and the extensive tracks of Ashby Yards. The map documents a patchwork of agricultural land and managed resources, evidenced by naming conventions like Private Coal Rd, which hints at the region's extractive history.

Smaller hamlets such as Glezen, Littles, and Willisville are scattered across the central corridor, connected by a network of county roads. Water features including Prides Creek Lake, Globe Pond, and numerous creeks like Conger Cr and Flat Cr cross the landscape, illustrating the drainage patterns that flow toward the broader Patoka basin. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of local industry and rural residential patterns in southwestern Indiana during the early 21st century.
