About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts diagonally across the southern portion of this Perry and Dubois County landscape, serving as a reminder of early 19th-century frontier demarcation. In the 1990s, the terrain is defined by the intersection of the Ferdinand State Forest and the Hoosier National Forest, where the headwaters of the Anderson River and its various forks—including the Middle Fork Anderson River—wind through the wooded hills.

Small rural settlements like Bristow and Siberia anchor the road network, while several remote cemeteries provide significant genealogical value. Researchers can locate family landmarks such as Hobbs Cem, Beard Cem, and Underhill Cem. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by forest service land and recreational water bodies, including Indian Lake and the Tipsaw Lake Recreation Area, reflecting a landscape preserved for its natural character and public use.
