About this map

Petersburg serves as the regional anchor on this survey, situated above the confluence of Prides Creek and the Patoka River. The landscape is defined by its deep genealogical footprint, evidenced by over a dozen named burial grounds including Walnut Hill Cem, Poplar Grove Cem, and Sugar Ridge Cem. Small settlements like Glezen, Willisville, and Rumble are scattered across the drainage basins of Conger Cr and Flat Cr, illustrating a rural development pattern common to the Pike County interior.

Transportation and utility routes bisect the terrain, most notably the industrial site at Ashby Yards. To the south, the South Fork Patoka River meanders through low-lying areas near Globe Pond, where the terrain flattens toward the Gibson County line. The map captures the persistence of smaller communities like Littles and Bowman alongside larger water features such as Prides Creek Lake, providing a clear view of the area's civil and natural boundaries.
