About this map

Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial sits at the northern edge of this Spencer County landscape, preserving the site where Abraham Lincoln spent his formative years. The area is defined by its rural character and the slow winding of Little Pigeon Creek and its many tributaries, such as Pokeberry Creek and Buckhorn Creek. Small communities like Chrisney and Gentryville serve as local hubs, connected by a network of county roads and rail lines meeting at Rockport Junction.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the countryside, including Saint Martins Catholic Cemetery, Garrison Cemetery, and Clark Cemetery. The terrain is generally level but punctuated by the Fisher Knobs in the south, providing a distinct break in the agricultural plains. From the waters of Chrisney Lake to the small settlement of Tennyson, this survey documents the enduring layout of these Southern Indiana townships.
