About this map

Bristow and Sassafras anchor this section of Perry County, where the dendritic drainage of the Middle Fork Anderson River and its tributaries like Coon Branch and Winding Branch define the topography. The rural landscape is marked by a network of local roads such as Beard Cemetery Rd and Adyeville Rd, connecting small settlements like Kitterman Corners and Apalona.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites across the ridges and valleys, including Lasher Cemetery, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and Underhill Cemetery. The eastern portion of the map reveals the water management of the early 21st century, featuring reservoirs like Lake Celina and Tipsaw Lake held by structures such as Middle Fork Dam Number 5. The presence of Blue Ridge and various creek branches illustrates the transition from high ground to the winding river bottoms that have shaped the settlement patterns of these southern Indiana communities.
