2019 Map of Velpen

About this map

The Patoka River winds through the borderlands of Pike and Dubois counties, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a dense network of local cemeteries. In the northern reaches, the community of Velpen sits near Walnut Grove Cem, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by Holland and the neighboring locality of Zoar. The terrain transitions into the Mitchell Plain near Pikeville, where numerous family and community burial grounds like Stillwell Cem and Risley Cem provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research.
