About this map

St Wendel and St Joseph anchor the agricultural and industrial landscape of northwestern Vanderburgh County as it appeared in the late twentieth century. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads, including North Road and New Harmony Road, which connect several small communities and historic family burial grounds. Researchers can find numerous landmarks of local heritage, such as Engleheim Cem and Kunze Cem, alongside institutional foundations like No 3 School and No 6 School.

Resource extraction is evident throughout the southern portions of the map, characterized by a significant Oil Field and scattered Oil Wells. The terrain is drained by several meandering waterways, notably Big Creek and Little Creek, which flow through the townships of Robinson and German. This record preserves the transition of the region, from the rural cluster at Barkers Settlement to the more developed outskirts of Kasson.
