About this map

Fort Branch and Haubstadt anchor this agricultural landscape in southern Indiana, where the regional economy of the early 1960s is defined by a dense grid of section-line roads and the proximity of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad. The map reveals a transition from the level terrain of the north to the more dissected drainage basins of Hurricane Creek and West Fork Pigeon Creek.

Genealogical interest is found in the small settlements of Saint James, Warrenton, and Stacer, alongside local landmarks like St Stephen Ch and the Trinity Parish Cem. The landscape is punctuated by numerous Oil Wells, particularly in the eastern sections, reflecting the subsurface resource extraction that operated alongside traditional farming. Further evidence of local recreation and infrastructure appears with the Racetrack and Athletic Field near the center of the survey area.
