The Charlestown and Sellersburg area in southern Indiana is depicted here as it sat in 2010, showing the expansion of residential developments and industrial corridors like River Ridge near the Ohio River. The landscape is a network of small creeks and runs, including Sinking Fork, Pleasant Run, and Fourteenmile Creek, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns of towns like Speed and Springville. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Robinson Cemetery, Bottorff Cemetery, and the curiously named Fifty-four Cemetery near the riverbank. Along the southern edge of the sheet, the river terrain includes Twelvemile Island, while the interior shows the infrastructure of the Charlestown Post Office and local landmarks like Lake Joyce.
