About this map

Saint Anthony sits at the heart of this Dubois County landscape, where the Southern railroad line cuts east-to-west through the hills of Jackson and Ferdinand townships. The map reflects a deeply rooted community structure, centered on local institutions like the Sacred Heart Sch and several family-oriented landmarks such as the Bretzville Cem and Cox Cem. These small settlements, including Kyana and Bretzville, are connected by a network of rural routes like South Road, following the natural drainage of Grassy Fork and Richland Creek.

The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the dense canopy of the Ferdinand State Forest, featuring a Lookout Tower and Holiday Lake. The terrain is defined by its complex creek systems, including Hall Creek and Flat Creek, which shaped the early agricultural and timber boundaries of the region. This 1969 survey, updated with 1988 aerial revisions, provides a precise look at the rural character of Indiana before modern subdivision.
