1955 Map of Saint Anthony

About this map

The Southern railroad corridor cuts a distinct horizontal line through the heart of Dubois County, connecting the small agrarian settlements of Bretzville, Saint Anthony, and Kyana. This mid-1950s landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Hall Creek and Grassy Fork carving through the northern sections while Hurricane Creek winds through the southern timberlands. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Ferdinand State Forest, featuring the Lookout Tower Ferd and the nearby Saint Anthony Conservation Lake. For genealogists, several burial grounds are documented, including the Schnellville Cem on the eastern edge and the Cox Cem further south. The map illustrates a rural Indiana community where local life was organized around small church-centered hamlets like Saint Marks and the township intersections of Jackson and Ferdinand.
