Pike, who found the source of the Mississippi River and discovered Pike's Peak. Petersburg is the county seat. Pike County is situated in the southwestern section of the state. It is bounded on the north by Knox and Daviess, on the east by Dubois, on the south by Warrick and on the west by Gibson counties.
