About this map

Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial occupies the northeastern corner of this Spencer County landscape, preserving the historical environment where Abraham Lincoln lived during his youth. The town of Chrisney serves as a southern hub, situated near Chrisney Lake and the Saint Martins Cem, while the northern village of Gentryville remains a significant local crossroads near Rockport Junction. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Little Pigeon Creek and its many tributaries, including Coles Cr and Buckhorn Cr.

Southwest of the main settlements, Fisher Knobs rises above the bottomlands near Bloomfield and High Banks. Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Hesson Cem, Bender Cem, and Garrison Cem. The survey illustrates a rural Indiana landscape where the historic Lincoln Trail Rd connects established farmsteads with the small rail and road depots of Tennyson and the surrounding countryside.
