2019 Map of Bristow

About this map

Bristow and several smaller Perry County settlements sit within a landscape deeply defined by the Hoosier National Forest and the winding Middle Fork Anderson River. The 2019 data illustrates a rural network of ridges and hollows, such as Fox Ridge, where local life is anchored by family-named landmarks and historic burials. Genealogists can find numerous sites including Enlow Cem, Underhill Cem, and Hobbs Cem, which provide clues to the region's early residents. Further south, the map details the terrain around Sassafras and Apalona, showing how modern local roads like Saint Isidore Rd and Blue Ridge Rd navigate the undulating geography. Recreational features including Indian Lake, Tipsaw Lake, and Lake Celina are prominent, highlighting the shift toward public forest use and conservation in this corner of southern Indiana.
