About this map

Saint Wendel and Parkers Settlement anchor this 1961 survey of the borderlands between Posey and Vanderburgh counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads such as Spahl Road and Diamond Road, connecting small agrarian hubs and family-named cemeteries. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, identifying local landmarks like Engleheim Cem, Kunze Cem, and St Peters Ch.

Industry and transport are represented by the presence of Oil Wells scattered across the township boundaries of Armstrong and Robinson, while the Illinois Central Railroad and New York Central Railroad cut across the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. The map also records several local schools, including the Cynthia Heights School, marking the educational infrastructure of these Indiana townships in the mid-twentieth century.
