About this map

St Bonifacius Ch stands as a central landmark in the settlement of Fulda, anchoring a rural landscape defined by the winding course of the Anderson River. This 1960 field-checked survey reveals a region of Southern Indiana deeply connected by the Southern railroad line, which passes through Evanston and near Schley. The map documents a significant concentration of Catholic parish life, with St Johns Ch, St John Chrysostom Ch, and St Peters Ch serving scattered communities across Harrison and Huff townships.

Resource extraction and early conservation efforts are visible side-by-side, from the Strip Mine and Oil Well symbols to the protected lands of the Spencer Co State Forest. Researchers will find genealogical value in the naming of family-related landmarks like Butler Cem and Purcell Cem, while the intricate topography of Avery Ridge and the Middle Fork shows the difficult terrain that shaped local road networks like Adeyville Road.
