1960 Map of Saint Meinrad

Industry and terrain define the eastern and southern reaches of the map, where the Anderson River carves through the topography of Clark and Harrison townships. The presence of multiple strip mines in the south, particularly near Monkey Hollow and Swinging Creek, reflects the region's mid-century extraction activities. Extensive tracts of the Ferdinand State Forest preserve much of the elevation, crisscrossed by family-named landmarks like Taylor Cem and the small settlement at Adyeville.
