About this map

Saint Anthony and Schnellville anchor this southern Indiana landscape, which was updated in the late 1960s to reflect the era's evolving terrain. The northern reaches are defined by the drainage patterns of Hall Creek and the Grassy Fork, while the southern portion is heavily influenced by the expansion of the Ferdinand State Forest. The map documents a rural society built around local institutions, including the Sacred Heart Sch and several family or community burial grounds like Dugan Cem and Cox Cem.

The Southern railroad line cuts a significant path through the center of the quadrangle, passing through Saint Marks and near Bretzville. This rail corridor, paired with the development of Holiday Lake in the southwest, illustrates the shift from a purely agricultural and timber-based economy toward one incorporating recreational water features and modern infrastructure. Local township boundaries for Jackson, Ferdinand, and Jefferson provide essential geographic structure for genealogists tracing Dubois County family roots.
