About this map

Aurora and Lawrenceburg dominate the Indiana side of the Ohio River in this detailed survey, showcasing the dense riverfront development and the transport corridors that define Dearborn County. The landscape transitions from the industrial and residential river hubs to the high ridges of the interior, such as Possum Ridge and Mount Tabor Ridge. Local aviation and industry intersect at the Aurora Casket Company Airport, a unique landmark situated near the settlement of Tabor.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the rural pockets between the major towns, including Sinai, Wilmington, and Kirschs Corner. Significant community sites are preserved here, including Mount Tabor Church Cemetery and Riverview Cemetery. The mapping of Laughery Creek and North Hogan Creek illustrates the intricate drainage patterns that carved out valleys like Thuermer Hollow, influencing the placement of historic routes like Old State Rd 350 and Wilmington Pike.
