About this map

Aberdeen and Norths Landing anchor this portion of the Ohio River valley, where the landscape transitions from flat riverbank to a series of prominent interior ridges. The survey captures a network of rural crossroads settlements, including Cofield Corner, Bascom Corner, and Hartford, which are connected by a winding web of ridge-top and valley roads such as Salem Ridge Rd and Stewart Ridge Rd. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses like Arnold Creek and Grants Creek, creating a topography that historically dictated the placement of homesteads and small family burial grounds.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several specific interment sites, including Grant Brothers Cemetery, Bovard Cemetery, and North Cemetery. Modern development is represented by the Rising Sun Airport, positioned near the junction of Buckeye Ridge and Stewart Ridge. The map illustrates how transportation patterns follow the natural flow of the land, with Indiana 56 tracing the river's edge through the southern portion of the quadrangle.
