About this map

St. Meinrad and Ferdinand anchor this portion of southern Indiana, where the intersection of Dubois, Perry, and Spencer counties creates a landscape defined by significant religious and educational institutions. The presence of the Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology and the Saint Meinrad Archabbey Cem highlights the area's long-standing cultural importance. The drainage patterns of the Anderson River and Hurricane Cr cut through the terrain, while the Felmont Oil Company Reservoir points to local resource extraction history.

Researchers can trace family history through numerous rural burial sites including Lanman Cem and the Tenn Beard Cem near Adyeville. The map's detailed road network, from Long Johnnytown Rd to N Fulda Shortcut Rd, reveals how modern infrastructure overlies the traditional hollows like Meinrad Hollow, providing a clear view of how these communities have structured themselves around the winding waterways of Blackhawk Cr and Ferdinand Run.
